How Clark County property taxes are determined

The Department of Taxation determines the

tax rate for each district

. The tax rate is linked to budgets set by local governments.

Your property value is determined by a local tax assessor. First, the assessor will determine the taxable value of the property, which is the market value of the land and replacement cost of improvements less depreciation.

The assessor then calculates the cost of materials and labor that would be required to replace the property, and factors in a depreciation value of 1.5% per year based on the age of the property, up to 50 years.

The assessor adds to this the value of the land, which is determined by market sales or other appraisals. Property values are updated every year.

If you disagree with the value the assessor has placed on your property, you can visit the assessor’s office and meet with an appraiser who will review their decision with you. If you still disagree, you can issue an appeal.
