Are there any exemptions for senior citizens to reduce the amount of taxes due? There is a real estate homestead exemption available. Please contact the Clark County Auditor's Office at 937-521-1862 for details.
If the home or mobile home you are homesteading is in Clark County, you must take or mail your Declaration of Homestead to the Clark County Recorder. The Clark County Recorder's Office is located at 500 S Grand Central Pkwy, 2nd Floor, Las Vegas, NV 89155-1510.
Qualifying homeowners can get a 35% exemption of the assessed value of a home up to $600,000 (25% for homes over $600,000). Additional deductions are available for seniors, veterans, disabled persons, rehabilitations, and mortgages.
The Nevada Legislature provides for property tax exemptions to individuals meeting certain requirements. Some of these include veterans, disabled veterans, surviving spouses, blind persons, and property owned by religious, educational or non-profit organizations.
You must live in the home to qualify for the tax break. Some states exempt a certain percentage of a home's value from property taxes, while other states exempt a set dollar amount. If your state uses a percentage method, the exemption will be more valuable to homeowners with more valuable homes.
