Nevada has an effective property tax rate of 0.55%, producing an average annual bill of $1,807. The US national average is 1.07% — Nevada's rate is well below, placing it at rank #8 out of 50 states (rank 1 = lowest).
Nevada assesses property at 35% of taxable value, where taxable value is defined as replacement cost minus depreciation (not market value). This approach often yields taxable values well below market, particularly for older homes with high depreciation.
Primary residences receive the State Demobilization Exemption. The Residential Exemption reduces assessed value by $500 for qualifying homeowners, resulting in a modest but meaningful credit.
NRS 361.4722 caps annual increases in assessed value at 3% for primary residences (8% for other real property). This cap, combined with the replacement-cost assessment methodology, has shielded long-term Nevada homeowners from the full impact of the 2020-2022 housing boom.
Nevada's unusual replacement-cost assessment method, combined with the 3% cap, means a Las Vegas home worth $450,000 may be taxed on an assessed value of $80,000-$100,000, yielding a very low effective rate despite high market values.
The median home value in Nevada is $400,000. Las Vegas and Reno saw dramatic appreciation 2020-2022 (40-50%), followed by a correction in 2023. Both markets have partially recovered. Nevada remains attractive for California buyers seeking lower taxes. At the 0.55% effective rate, a homeowner at the median value pays roughly $1,807/year in property taxes.
