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%. A recorded ownership document removes the 3% abatement; if that happens you will need to complete a new postcard to retain the 3% abatement for the next year.
How: If you receive the Assessor's postcard, sign it and return it as soon as possible to retain the 3% tax cap. 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 surviving spouse; $5,460 blind
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: Surviving spouse: a copy of the spouse's death certificate. Blind: a certificate from a licensed physician.
Seniors 62+ on energy assistance: City senior water and sewer discountHalf the daily water charge
North Las Vegas offers discounted water and sewer rates to low-income senior citizens. The account holder must be enrolled in the Nevada Energy Assistance Program; the discount lasts 12 months.
How: Bring proof of enrollment with the state and proof of age (62 or older) to the City Utilities Department, and renew each year.

How these numbers are made
- Property tax: Nevada taxes 35% of a home's taxable value; the 2026-27 combined rate in North Las Vegas tax district 250 is 3.3544 per $100 of assessed value (State 0.1700, Clark County School District 0.7500 + 0.5534, North Las Vegas 0.1937 + 0.7300 public safety + 0.2350 street/fire/park + 0.0632 library, plus Clark County levies; Clark County Treasurer). Special improvement district assessments in some neighborhoods 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 less than rate x value. We use the Census ACS 2020-2024 median real estate taxes paid in North Las Vegas ($1,854) divided by the median owner-occupied value ($404,400): 0.458% of market value.
- Water: City of North Las Vegas rates effective 10/1/2026 for a 3/4-inch meter: $0.45 a day x 30 plus the SNWA infrastructure and drought charge of $17.21 a month gives $30.71 fixed; tiers are the City's $2.55, $3.31, $4.31 and $5.56 per 1,000 gallons plus the SNWA commodity charge of $0.67 per 1,000 gallons (effective 1/1/2026). The SNWA reliability charge (0.25% of water use, fees and commodity) is not included.
- Sewer: the City's 10/1/2026 monthly service fee $5.40 + $19.53 flat up to 5,000 gallons + an additional flat $18.54 above 5,000 gallons = $43.47, assuming a house uses more than 5,000 gallons a month. Garbage: Republic Services' single-family rate of $20.28 a month in the City's 2026-2027 rates, billed on the City water bill. A $0.75 monthly graffiti/community improvement fee is on the same sheet.
- 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), at 1,078 kWh, the usage in NV Energy's own sample bill. NV Energy's local government fee is not included.
- Gas: Southwest Gas SG-RS Southern Nevada tariff effective October 1, 2026: $10.80 a month plus $0.77454 per therm all-in (base + gas cost), at 32 therms a month, Southwest Gas's Southern Nevada average residential use; franchise fees and taxes not included. Insurance: Nevada's 2022 statewide average HO-3 premium (NAIC via Triple-I), not a North Las Vegas figure.
- Modelling remarks: for a recently bought home the 3% cap helps less, so tax is closer to taxable value x 35% x 3.3544/100 (rough example only: taxable value of $300,000 gives about $3,522; taxable value is not the sale price). Electric: Nevada Power bills may carry seasonal or tiered components and a local government fee; we use the sheet's single total effective rate and could not check the full RS tariff. Insurance is a 2022 statewide figure; premiums in the Las Vegas area may differ. Water, sewer and garbage use the City's 10/1/2026 sheets.
