Property tax relief for seniors in Nevada
Nevada has no property tax exemption based on age.
The main relief for older homeowners is a statewide 3% cap: the tax bill on the home you live in generally can't go up more than 3% over the year before. Nevadans who are surviving spouses, veterans, disabled veterans or blind can also get a property tax exemption.
How to apply in Nevada
- In person
- Your county assessor mails a postcard to homeowners who may qualify. Sign it and return it to the assessor's office to claim the 3% cap on your primary residence.
Who may qualify in Nevada
| Age | Any age |
|---|---|
| Income limit | No income limit |
| Home | You may qualify for the home you own and use as your primary residence: a house, townhouse, condominium or manufactured home. Only one home in Nevada can be your primary residence. |
What you may get
| What it's worth | The tax bill on your primary residence can't rise more than 3% over the previous year's bill Source: Nevada Legislature (source 3) |
|---|---|
| Other homes and property | A cap of up to 8% a year |
Dates, renewals and waiting lists
| When to claim | Return the assessor's postcard as soon as you get it |
|---|---|
| Renewal | No yearly application. Recording a new ownership document (for example, moving the home into a trust) removes the cap until you return a new postcard. |
How Nevada is different
Where Nevada's rules differ from the federal rules for Property tax relief for seniors.
- No age-based or income-based property tax exemption, freeze or rebate for older people
- The 3% cap limits the bill itself, so it helps every owner who lives in the home, whatever their age or income
- New construction and property with a change of use don't get a cap in their first year

Good to know
- Renters: the 3% cap is for owners. Landlords whose rents stay within low-income limits can also get a 3% cap on rental homes.
- Nevada's property tax exemptions are for surviving spouses, veterans, disabled veterans and blind people. Each is a set amount of assessed value, and you renew by returning a postcard each year. Apply with your county assessor.
