The Nevada side — Incline Village and Crystal Bay — offers 0% state income tax versus California's 9.3%–13.3%. The Nevada side also has less restrictive building regulations and lower property tax rates than California counties. The California south and west shores (South Lake Tahoe, Tahoe City, Kings Beach) are subject to California income tax, which applies to full-year California residents regardless of where they live in the state.

Why is it called Incline Village?
Incline Village takes its name from an incline railway built by the Sierra Nevada Wood & Lumber Company in the 1880s. The railway hauled timber 1,400 feet up the mountainside during the Comstock Lode era, then transported it via gravity flume to Carson City to supply mine shafts. The incline operated until the lumber was exhausted.
What is Lake Tahoe?
Lake Tahoe is the 2nd deepest lake in the United States at 1,645 feet deep. It holds enough water to cover the entire state of California 14.5 inches deep. The lake sits at 6,229 feet elevation on the border of California and Nevada. It is known for its clarity — visibility can reach 70 feet depth. The Nevada side (Incline Village / Crystal Bay) is in Washoe County.
