How Property Tax Works in Las Vegas
Homeowners in Las Vegas pay property tax to multiple overlapping jurisdictions: Clark County, the city of Las Vegas itself, school districts, and other special-purpose districts. The effective rate shown on this page combines all of these into a single percentage applied against the assessed value of the property.
Each jurisdiction sets its own rate ("millage") annually, typically during the budget process. The total bill is paid to the county tax collector, which distributes revenue back to the individual jurisdictions.
Who Assesses Your Home
Your home's assessed value is determined by the Clark County assessor's office.

Homeowners have the right to appeal the assessed value if they believe it exceeds fair market value.
Exemptions to Check
Most states offer exemptions that reduce the taxable value of your home. The most common are the homestead exemption (for primary residences), senior exemption (for homeowners over 65), veteran exemption, and disability exemption. Contact the Clark County assessor's office to apply.
