- About This Answer
To calculate the exact amount of property tax you will owe requires your property's assessed value and the property tax rates based on your property's address. Please note that we can only estimate your property tax based on median property taxes in your area. There are typically multiple rates in a given area, because your state, county, local schools and emergency responders each receive funding partly through these taxes. In our calculator, we take your home value and multiply that by your county's effective property tax rate. This is equal to the median property tax paid as a percentage of the median home value in your county.

Nevada Property Tax Rules
Property taxes in Nevada are based on the market value of a property, as well as the replacement cost of any structures on a property. County Assessors in each county are required to reappraise all property at least once every five years.
The taxable value of a property is calculated as the cash value of the land (the amount the land alone would sell for on the market), and the replacement cost of all buildings minus depreciation of 1.5% per year since construction.
Assessed value is equal to 35% of that taxable value. Thus, if your county assessor determines your home’s taxable value is $100,000, your assessed value will be $35,000. Tax rates apply to that amount.
Nevada’s tax abatement law protects homeowners from sudden spikes in their property taxes. The law limits increases in property taxes on primary residences to 3% per year. Thus, even if home values increase by 10%, property taxes will increase by no more than 3%.
Nevada Property Tax Rates
Tax rates in Nevada are expressed in dollars per $100 in assessed value. Thus, if your tax rate is $3.25 and your assessed value is $40,000, your total annual tax is $1,300.
There are numerous tax districts within every Nevada county. Clark County, for example, lists 112 different tax districts, with different rates for each district. Thus, when comparing between counties, it is useful to look at effective rates.
An effective rate is the annual property tax payment as a percentage of home value. The table below shows average effective tax rates, median home value and median annual property taxes for every county in Nevada.
