Claims for Primary Residential Tax Caps Due June 30

The Clark County Assessor’s Office is mailing out postcards in March to property owners who may still file a claim for a primary residential tax cap rate of 3 percent on their taxes for the 2019-2020 fiscal year, which ends June 30. Property owners may submit a claim by completing and signing the bottom portion of the postcards and returning it to the Assessor’s Office no later than June 30. The general cap rate applicable to all other properties this fiscal year is 4.8 percent, compared to the 3-percent tax cap rate for primary residences. This difference equates to a potential savings of $18 per $1,000 in taxes on primary residential properties that qualify. If you don’t receive a postcard and want to check your tax cap rate, you can look it up on the Treasurer’s pages of Clark County’s website at www.ClarkCountyNV.gov/treasurer. From the home page, click on “Property Account Inquiry” and enter your name, address or parcel number. The property tax cap amount is listed under the “Property Characteristics” heading. If the rate is determined to be correct, no further action is required. For more information, property owners may contact the Clark County Assessor’s Office at [phone].
