How Clark County property taxes are determined

Clark County calculates the statistical median value of all taxable properties in the district to determine the average property tax rate.

Your property taxes are based on the fair market value of your home assigned by your county tax assessor after your annual appraisal. Any improvements or additions to your property may increase its appraised value.

If you believe your property value is incorrect you can appeal the property tax amount charged and request a reassessment by contacting the

Clark County Property Tax Assessor Office

You may qualify for a

Homestead Exemption

which reduces the appraised valuation before property taxes are calculated if your property is your primary residence. This can result in a lower annual property tax rate for owner-occupied homes.

Key Takeaway: Tax assessors set individual property tax rates on a property-by-property basis.
