Clark County does not publish a property tax calculator, but the math is short enough to do by hand. Take your property’s taxable value from the Assessor, multiply by 35 percent to get the assessed value, divide by 100, and multiply by your tax district’s rate. For fiscal year 2025–2026, district rates run from roughly $2.50 to $3.40 per $100 of assessed value, so the same taxable value can produce meaningfully different bills depending on where the property sits.
The Three Numbers You Need
Every estimate rests on the same three inputs.
The first is taxable value, set by the County Assessor under NRS 361.227. Land is appraised at full cash value; improvements are valued at replacement cost, then depreciated at 1.5 percent per year of adjusted age up to a 50-year maximum, with further reductions for obsolescence. Taxable value is not the same as market value, because the improvement side reflects what it would cost to rebuild rather than what a buyer would pay.1Nevada Legislature. Nevada Code 361.227 – Determination of Taxable Value
The second is the assessment ratio. NRS 361.225 fixes it at 35 percent statewide. A taxable value of $400,000 produces an assessed value of $140,000, and every calculation that follows uses that assessed figure.2Nevada Legislature. Nevada Code 361.225 – Rate of Assessment
The third is your district’s combined tax rate, expressed per $100 of assessed value. Clark County contains dozens of tax districts, each blending levies from the county, school district, the municipality, and special districts for services like libraries, fire, and police. Your rate depends on the district code assigned to the parcel, not simply the city name on your mail.

These are some of the most common combined rates per $100 of assessed value for the current fiscal year:3Clark County Treasurer. Tax Rate by District
- Las Vegas (District 200): $3.2782
- Henderson (District 500): $2.9611
- North Las Vegas (District 250): $3.3544
- Paradise, Spring Valley, and Sunrise Manor: $2.9328
- Enterprise (District 620): $2.7081
- Unincorporated Clark County (District 100): $2.5017
- Boulder City (District 052): $2.6097
Rates are updated each June once local budgets are finalized. Your district code appears on any prior tax bill and through the Assessor’s property search.
Working a Sample Calculation
The formula is (Assessed Value ÷ 100) × Tax Rate = Annual Tax. The Assessor’s site uses the same approach in its own examples.4Clark County, NV. Clark County Assessor Real Property
Take a Las Vegas home with a taxable value of $350,000. Multiply by 0.35 to get an assessed value of $122,500. Divide by 100 and multiply by 3.2782, and you get roughly $4,016 for the year before any abatement or exemption is applied.
Now run the same taxable value through Henderson’s rate. $122,500 ÷ 100 × 2.9611 comes to about $3,627. Identical property, roughly $389 apart, purely because of the district rate. That gap is worth knowing if you’re comparing neighborhoods.
The raw number is your starting point, not your final bill. Two things will typically pull it down: the annual cap on how much your tax can grow, and any exemptions you qualify for.
The Cap That Limits Your Actual Bill
Nevada caps year-over-year growth in the tax itself, which is why the number you calculate above is often higher than what shows up in the mail.
For a single-family home used as your primary residence, NRS 361.4723 limits the annual increase to 3 percent over the prior year’s tax. If last year’s bill was $3,500, this year’s cannot exceed $3,605, no matter how much taxable value climbed.5Nevada Legislature. Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 361 – Property Tax
Everything else falls under NRS 361.4722. The cap for non-primary residences is the lesser of 8 percent or a figure tied to the average change in assessed value across the county over the preceding 10 years. Rental properties, second homes, and commercial parcels tend to swing more from year to year than owner-occupied houses.5Nevada Legislature. Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 361 – Property Tax
To lock in the 3 percent cap, a recorded owner has to actually live at the property, cannot claim another Nevada property as a primary residence, and cannot rent or lease it. The Assessor’s office periodically mails verification forms. Ignore one and your parcel can default to the higher cap without warning, which you’ll only notice when the bill arrives.
Exemptions That Reduce Assessed Value
Exemptions come off the assessed value before the tax rate is applied, so they stack on top of the abatement cap.
Veterans
Under NRS 361.090, qualifying veterans receive a $2,000 reduction in assessed valuation. Eligibility requires Nevada residency, at least 90 continuous days of active duty during a qualifying period of conflict, and an honorable discharge. File an affidavit and proof of discharge with the County Assessor.6Nevada Legislature. Nevada Code 361.090 – Veterans Exemptions
Disabled Veterans
Veterans with a service-connected disability receive a larger reduction based on their rating:7Clark County, NV. Property Tax Exemptions
- 60–79 percent disabled: $17,700 in assessed valuation
- 80–99 percent disabled: $26,550
- 100 percent disabled: $35,400
At the top tier, that $35,400 exemption cuts a Las Vegas district bill by more than $1,100 a year. Once approved, the exemption applies automatically, but the initial filing has to be made with the Assessor.
Senior Rebate
Nevada’s Aging and Disability Services Division administers a rebate for homeowners 65 and older who meet income and asset limits. It refunds up to $500 of property taxes paid on a primary residence. Income thresholds change periodically, so check current limits with the Assessor or ADSD before assuming eligibility.
Finding Your Own Numbers
Two county lookup tools give you every input the formula needs.
The Assessor’s Property Search accepts an address or Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) and returns taxable value, assessed value, and district code.8Clark County, NV. Property Search The Treasurer’s Property Account Inquiry shows the actual billed amount, payment history, and any balance due, and it accepts online payment.9Clark County Treasurer. Property Account Inquiry
Your APN appears on prior tax bills, deeds, and title documents in a format like 176-15-301-024. If you don’t have it, an address search on the Assessor’s site will find it. Between those two tools and the district rate table, you have everything the county would put in a calculator if it built one.
If You Think the Value Is Wrong
Your calculation is only as good as the taxable value the Assessor assigns. If you believe that number is too high, you can appeal to the Clark County Board of Equalization by January 15 of the fiscal year in question, or the next business day if January 15 falls on a weekend or holiday.10Clark County, NV. Board of Equalization Meetings
One boundary matters here. The Board can only decide whether your taxable value is correct relative to comparable properties. It cannot change the tax rate, adjust the abatement, or weigh ability to pay. You don’t need an attorney; comparable sales, photos of property conditions the Assessor may have missed, and documentation of depreciation or obsolescence tend to carry the weight. Any adjustment applies only to that fiscal year, so if the value stays high next year, you file again.
