Henderson property tax: where it goes
A Henderson house pays 0.52% of its value in property tax. For a house at $484,900 of home value, that's about $2,520 a year.
Tax is levied on assessed value, which is 35 percent of taxable value, at a combined 2026-27 rate of 2.9613 per $100 of assessed value in Henderson tax district 500; a primary residence's tax bill is capped at a 3 percent increase a year.
Clark County's 2026-27 rates are published (2.9613 per $100 of assessed value in district 500), but Nevada's 3% yearly cap on a primary residence's tax bill keeps most owners' bills far below rate x value, so the typical figure is the Census median taxes paid divided by the median home value (2020-2024).

Ways to pay less
- Owner-occupants: keep the 3% tax cap. 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. 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. 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.
