Ways to pay less

Nothing here applies to every house automatically. These are worth checking:

Owner-occupants: keep the 3% tax cap3% cap instead of up to 8%
Nevada caps the yearly increase in the tax bill of an owner's primary residence at 3%; homes that are not owner occupied get a cap of up to 8%. Recording any ownership document (for example after a sale or a transfer into a trust) removes the 3% abatement; you then need to complete a new postcard from the Assessor to keep it for the next year.
How: Sign the Clark County Assessor's postcard and return it as soon as possible. Questions: (702) 455-3882.
Veterans: veteran's exemption$3,640 off assessed value
Eligible veterans get $3,640 off assessed value; veterans with a permanent service-connected disability of at least 60% get $18,200 (60-79%), $27,300 (80-99%) or $36,400 (100%).
How: Apply with the Clark County Assessor (DD214 and a Nevada driver's license or ID). To use it on your home's tax bill, apply it to real property by June 15 before the fiscal year starts.
Surviving spouses and blind residents: personal exemptions$1,820 to $5,460 exemption
The Clark County Assessor lists $1,820 for a surviving spouse and $5,460 for a blind person ($7,280 for a surviving spouse who is blind).
How: A Nevada driver's license or ID and a death certificate or a physician's certificate are required.
Low-income or disability households: reduced sewer charge$25.66 instead of $31.61 a month
Henderson's wastewater charge for Low-Income/Disability households is $25.66 (based on a 30-day service period), against $31.61 for a single-family home; eligibility is based on State of Nevada Division of Welfare income qualifications.
How: Eligibility is based on State of Nevada Division of Welfare income qualifications.

How these numbers are made

Property tax: Nevada taxes 35% of a home's taxable value, at a combined 2026-27 rate in Henderson tax district 500 (and 13 other Henderson districts with the same rate) of 2.9613 per $100 of assessed value (State 0.17, Clark County School District 1.3034, Clark County 0.6541, City of Henderson 0.7708, Henderson District Public Libraries 0.0630; Department of Taxation Redbook). Two Henderson districts have lower rates (2.5017 and 2.7264). Some neighborhoods also carry special improvement district assessments, which are not included.
Nevada's abatement caps the yearly increase in an owner-occupied home's tax bill at 3%, so long-held homes pay much less than rate x value. We start from the Census ACS 2020-2024 median real estate taxes paid in Henderson ($2,520) divided by the median value of owner-occupied homes ($484,900): 0.520% of market value. Your real bill is on your Clark County tax bill.
Water: City of Henderson single-family rates for a 3/4-inch meter: $0.647 a day x 30 = $19.41, then $1.84 per 1,000 gallons for the first 200 gallons a day (6,000 a month at 30 days), $3.06 for the next 333 a day (to 16,000), $4.32 for the next 467 a day (to 30,000) and $11.32 above 1,000 gallons a day. Southern Nevada Water Authority regional charges also appear on the bill; the City's rates page does not list their amounts, so they are not included. Sewer: $31.61 a month.
Garbage: Republic Services' single-family rate of $18.66 a month from the February 2025 schedule in Henderson Municipal Code 5.17.160 (adopted by Ordinance 4044); the code allows later CPI adjustments, which we did not find, so the current bill may be somewhat higher.
Electricity: NV Energy Residential Single-Family (RS) from October 1, 2026: $18.00 a month plus $0.11514 per kWh (all rate components and the Universal Energy Charge included; no seasonal prices). NV Energy's bill also carries a local government fee set by the city or county, which is not included. Typical use is 1,078 kWh, the usage in NV Energy's own sample bill.
Gas: Southwest Gas SG-RS (Southern Nevada), effective October 1, 2026: $10.80 a month plus $0.77454 per therm, at 32 therms a month, Southwest Gas's Southern Nevada average residential use; franchise fees and taxes are not included. Insurance: Nevada's 2022 statewide average HO-3 premium (NAIC via Triple-I), not a Henderson figure.
