Clark County Assessor: Veterans' and Disabled Veterans' Exemptions

The exemptions are the State's, under NRS 361.090 for veterans of the listed periods and campaigns and NRS 361.091 for a permanent service-connected disability of 60% or more; the Nevada entries explain them, including the rule that several ratings are added together. The Clark County Assessor administers them in the county. Amounts for fiscal year 2026-27, in assessed value. Veteran $3,640; disabled veteran at 60% to 79% $18,200, at 80% to 99% $27,300, at 100% $36,400. Assessed value is about 35% of taxable value, and the Assessor's example is that $1,000 of exemption saves $35 of property tax at a $3.50 rate, or $50 of governmental services tax on a vehicle. How to use it. The exemption can go against next year's real property tax bill, against personal property such as a manufactured home, or against the governmental services and supplemental governmental services taxes when the vehicle is registered with the DMV, using the personal exemption number online, at a kiosk, in person or by mail. It can be split among them up to the total. Because vehicle taxes are charged at a higher rate, the Assessor notes that many holders put as much as they can against the DMV taxes. Any share for real property must be designated by June 15 before the fiscal year starts. Applying. Bring a valid Nevada driver licence or ID (an interim paper licence only with the previous card), the DD-214 or other separation document showing entry and honorable discharge dates, a Leave and Earnings Statement showing Nevada as home of record if still on active duty, and for the disability exemption the VA or service documentation of the percentage of permanent service-connected disability. For Gulf War or campaign service the Assessor accepts the DD-214, orders or commendations, a written military statement, or the veteran's own signed letter describing the duties performed. After the first affidavit the Assessor mails a renewal postcard each year; sign and return it to keep the exemption. Surviving spouse. The Assessor's page says the disabled veteran exemption may pass to the surviving spouse of a veteran who was eligible at death. Donating it. A veteran can pay the full tax and direct the Assessor to send the exempted amount to the Gift Account for the Veterans Home in Southern Nevada, through a paper voucher for the DMV portion. What the page leaves out. It does not mention that NRS 361.091 adds several service-connected ratings together rather than combining them the VA way, or that NRS 417.0187 makes a VA certificate showing compensation sufficient proof, which is how a veteran paid at 100% for unemployability reaches the top tier. Both are in the Nevada entries.
