South Lake Tahoe Housing is a very important decision and here are some tips:

State Tax- The South Lake Tahoe Area (and Heavenly Mountain Resort) are located in California and Nevada. Nevada does not have a State Tax and California does. If you live in Nevada and work in Nevada you do not have to pay California State Tax. If you live in Nevada and work in California you owe California State Tax. And if you live in California and work in Nevada you owe California State Tax. Best scenario is to live and work in Nevada. (Obviously, verify this info with your Tax Professional).
