ZIP doesn't have ACS data — typically because it's a PO-box-only ZIP, a single-business ZIP, or a small area where the Census suppresses small-sample estimates. Try a nearby ZIP.

Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs low — around 0.47% of value statewide — and the reason is a cap most homeowners don't realize they have to claim. Nevada limits how much your tax bill can rise each year to 3% on an owner-occupied primary residence (up to 8% on other property), and assessed value is only 35% of taxable value to begin with. Combined with no state income tax, that keeps resident bills well below the national norm.
Enter a 5-digit Nevada ZIP to see its median property tax, median home value, and effective rate from the US Census American Community Survey 2020–2024 vintage, plus how it compares to the Nevada state and US national medians. The explainer below covers the 35% assessment ratio and depreciation, the 3%/8% tax-abatement caps, and the veteran and blind exemptions. (Nevada has comparatively few ZIP codes, so the list here is smaller than larger states.)
How Nevada property tax works
Nevada builds a bill differently from most states. The county assessor sets a property's taxable value — land at market value, plus improvements valued at replacement cost less depreciation of 1.5% a year for up to 50 years — and then the assessed value is just 35% of that taxable value ( NRS 361.225 ). The depreciation rule means an older home's taxable value can fall well below what it would sell for.
The feature that matters most to homeowners is the partial tax abatement: it caps the year-over-year increase in your actual tax bill at 3% for an owner-occupied primary residence and up to 8% for other property. The catch is that the 3% cap is not automatic — you have to file a primary-residence claim with the county assessor, or you can be defaulted to the higher cap. A 2025 law, AB 377, now lets owners claim that 3% abatement right on the recorded declaration-of-value form when they buy.
Nevada's other relief comes as fixed assessed-value exemptions for veterans, disabled veterans (scaling with the service-connected rating), surviving spouses, and blind residents. These are modest amounts of assessed value rather than full exemptions, and they're claimed through the county assessor.
Why your actual bill differs
The numbers above describe a typical homeowner in this ZIP — not your specific bill. A few things move bills away from the median:
- The 3% cap — if you've claimed it. An owner-occupied home with the primary-residence claim on file has its bill held to 3% annual growth; a similar home defaulted to the 8% cap can pull ahead over a few hot-market years.
- Depreciation and age. Because improvements depreciate in the taxable-value formula, an older home can carry a lower taxable value — and bill — than a newer one of the same market price.
- Exemptions. Veteran, disabled-veteran, surviving-spouse, and blind exemptions trim assessed value for qualifying owners, moving them below the median.
Nevada has no single statewide bill lookup. The assessor sets the value and the county treasurer bills and collects; Clark County's Property Account Inquiry is a working example. For other counties, search your county treasurer's site.
Methodology
Data on this page comes from the US Census American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2020–2024 vintage (released January 29, 2026), at the ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) level. After filtering ZCTAs the Census suppresses for privacy or small-sample reasons, this page covers 135 Nevada ZIPs — a smaller list than larger states, since Nevada has relatively few ZIP codes.
Topcoding in Nevada. The Census caps median property tax at $10,000, reporting anything higher as $10,001. Nevada's 35% assessment ratio and the annual tax-bill caps keep essentially every ZIP below the cap, so the figures here are true medians.
See the full methodology page for source details (Census table IDs, the comparison-median rule, calculator formulas), how we handle topcoding across every state, and the refresh cadence.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the median tax in my ZIP different from what I pay?
Median is the middle of the distribution, not your bill. Nevada caps annual bill growth at 3% for owner-occupied homes (8% otherwise), but you must file a primary-residence claim to get the 3% cap; veteran and blind exemptions move qualifying owners further from the median.
Why might my ZIP show $10,001 as the median tax?
That's the Census topcode for privacy. It's rare in Nevada — the 35% ratio and the annual bill caps keep most medians under the $10,000 cap.
Where do I find my actual Nevada property tax bill?
Through your county treasurer. There's no statewide portal; the assessor values the property and the treasurer collects. Clark County's Property Account Inquiry is a working example.
When does Nevada data update on this page?
Annually, when the Census Bureau releases a new ACS 5-year vintage. The 2020–2024 vintage released January 29, 2026. The next vintage (2021–2025) typically follows the next year, though the Census has not yet posted its release date.
Why don't you cover other states yet?
State-by-state rollout. Each state needs its own context section (assessment method, exemptions, local taxing structure) to be genuinely useful. High-search-volume states are going live first.
