How it works

Your county assessor sets a taxable (assessed) value, which may be below market value, then applies the combined rate of every taxing body — county, city, school district, and any special levies. A homestead or senior exemption reduces the assessed value before the rate is applied, so an owner-occupied home often owes less than the headline rate on a rental or second home.

For comparison, homeowners insurance in Nevada averages about $1,200 a year, so on the median home the tax bill is the larger of the two escrow items. Nevada has no state income tax, a low property tax rate with a 3% annual cap on assessment increases for owner-occupants, and cheap insurance — but Las Vegas and Reno prices have outrun those advantages.
