Low Tax Cap (Tax Limitation by Abatement)
Property owners are eligible for a partial abatement of property taxes assessed upon real and personal property. For an owner-occupied, single-family residence, which is considered the primary residence of the owner, the abatement is any amount of this year’s tax liability that exceeds the prior year’s tax liability by 3%. Some rental dwellings that meet the low-income rent limits may also qualify for a 3% cap on the tax bill. Increases in the assessed value of non-owner-occupied residential properties, as well as other property, are capped up to 8%.
Nevada also offers property tax exemptions to persons meeting certain requirements, such as veterans, disabled veterans, blind persons, and surviving spouses. These exemptions can be applied to real property, personal property, or used to exempt all or part of vehicle privilege tax.
Eligibility
A homeowner is eligible if they meet all of the following criteria:
- A recorded owner resides at the property, whether or not the owner lives there full-time.
- The owner does not claim another property in Nevada as their primary residence.
- The owner does not rent or lease the property out on a nightly, weekly, monthly, or other short- or long-term basis (roommates that occupy the home simultaneously with the owner are an exception).
Application Deadline
- Application due by June 15.
- Each year local county assessors will mail a card, form, or affidavit directly to the owners of residential property. The notice must be returned by June each year.
- Some counties allow residents to apply online.
