How Property Taxes are Calculated
Taxable Value x Level of Assessment (35%) = Assessed Value
Assessed Value x Tax Rate = Total Property Tax
THE TAX RATE
The State of Nevada Constitution, Article 10, section 2, limits the property tax rate to 5
cents per $1.00 of assessed value, which translates to $5.00 per $100 of assessed
value. In the 1979 session, the Nevada Legislature set the property tax rate at no more
than $3.64 per $100 of assessed value, where it remains to the present, plus $.02 not
subject to the cap.
Pursuant to NRS 354.59811, local government entity property tax revenues are allowed
to be increased by a maximum of 6% per year. The previous fiscal year’s property tax
revenue is multiplied by 106%. This amount is then divided by the projected assessed
valuation for the upcoming fiscal year to determine the tax rate necessary to generate
that amount of revenue.
If you feel taxes are too high, you should make your opinion known to your loca taxing
authorities assessors office.
As a Property Taxpayer, you possess certain rights. You have the right:
To an Assessor’s Office with an "open door" policy.
To a just and equitable assessment of your property, conducted in accordance with
Nevada statutes and regulations of the Nevada Tax Commission.
To prompt and courteous attention from the Assessor’s Office Whenever you have a
question concerning any aspect of your appraisal.
To complete details that set forth the Assessor’s procedures for assessing your
property including a copy of your appraisal records.
To appeal to the County Board of Equalization, the State Board of Equalization and the
court system if you feel that your appraisal is incorrect.
To a notice in the newspaper informing you the year your property is due to be
reappraised.
To have the Assessor’s Office be an advocate to the Legislature on behalf of
Taxpayers.
To an Assessor’s Office that disseminates new laws and information to the public
through the media and speaking to civic groups.
To an appointment with the appraiser who appraised your property for a review of your
assessment
To be advised by the Assessor’s Office of all of your rights as a taxpayer.
