How Property Tax Works

Clark County, Nevada operates under a property tax system that serves as a primary funding source for essential local services including public schools, fire protection, libraries, and municipal services. The county's property tax rate for fiscal year 2025-2026 is 3.2782 per $100 of assessed valuation, which translates to an effective rate of approximately 3.28%. This rate is significantly higher than Nevada's base rate of around 1% due to additional levies for school districts, special improvement districts, and municipal services that serve the Las Vegas metropolitan area.

Property taxes in Clark County are assessed based on the full cash value of real property as determined by the County Assessor's Office, with no assessment cap limiting annual increases. The tax year runs from July 1 to June 30, and the Assessor's Office performs accurate and equitable assessment functions while striving to be "the most technologically advanced, user-friendly Assessor's Office in the country." Property owners should be aware that Nevada's constitution limits total ad valorem property tax to $5.00 per $100 of assessed valuation, providing some protection against excessive taxation.

Section 4

Supplemental Tax Bills

Supplemental taxes in Clark County are triggered by specific events that change the assessed value of a property during the tax year, most commonly ownership changes through sale or transfer, and new construction or major improvements completed after the January 1 lien date. When these events occur, the Assessor's Office calculates the difference between the new assessed value and the previous assessed value, then applies the current tax rate to determine the supplemental tax amount.

The supplemental tax is prorated based on the number of months remaining in the fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) from the date the change became effective. For example, if a property sells in January and the new assessment increases the taxable value by $50,000, the supplemental tax would be calculated as: ($50,000 ÷ $100) × 3.2782 × (6 months remaining ÷ 12 months) = $819.55. These supplemental bills are issued separately from the annual tax bill and have their own due dates, typically allowing 30-60 days for payment from the date of issuance.

Escrow & Property Taxes

Most mortgage lenders in Clark County require borrowers to maintain an escrow account for property tax payments, collecting monthly deposits along with principal and interest payments. The lender calculates the monthly escrow amount by dividing the annual property tax bill by 12, often adding a cushion to ensure sufficient funds are available when taxes are due. Property tax bills are mailed out only once per fiscal year by the Treasurer's office, and lenders typically receive and pay these bills directly on behalf of borrowers.

If you purchase property during the fiscal year or if your mortgage company is no longer responsible for making tax payments, you must contact the Treasurer's office at 702-455-4323 (option 3) to request a bill. Property owners should verify that their lender is properly paying property taxes by reviewing their annual escrow analysis statement and checking payment status online. For detailed payment information, tax bill copies, and escrow verification, visit the official Clark County Treasurer website at https://www.clarkcountynv.gov/government/treasurer/. Properties with unpaid taxes at the end of April each year will be advertised as delinquent in local newspapers and published on the Treasurer's website.
