Property Tax Appeal · Clark County, NV
Appeal your property taxes
in Clark County, NV.
Home to Las Vegas, Clark County homeowners appeal through Nevada’s system: the county assessor sets the value, and the County Board of Equalization (then State Board of Equalization) hears the case. Boards act on evidence of market value as of the assessment date — a licensed, USPAP-compliant appraisal is that evidence. Start with the $5 check to see what you’d save.
Petitions to your County Board of Equalization are due by January 15, following the assessment notices counties mail in December. Your assessment notice states the exact date — and the appraiser prepares your report and filing guidance for Clark County’s procedure.
Nevada’s tax-cap abatement (a 3% annual increase cap on owner-occupied primary residences, up to 8% otherwise) limits the bill, not the value — but a value cut still lowers the base the cap compounds from. Confirm your primary-residence cap is actually applied; misclassification is a common, fixable error.

Petitions to your County Board of Equalization are due by January 15, following the assessment notices counties mail in December. Your assessment notice states the exact date for Clark County.
Nevada doesn’t assess pure market value — taxable value is the land at full cash value plus the improvements at replacement cost, depreciated 1.5% per year of age up to 50 years, and assessed value is 35% of that. Assessors mail notices in December, and appeals go to the County Board of Equalization by January 15, with the State Board of Equalization behind it. The statutory backstop is your lever: taxable value may not exceed full cash value, so if a licensed appraisal shows the home would sell for less than the taxable value on the notice, the board is required to bring it down.
Comparable sales as of the assessment date, adjusted for the differences between those homes and yours — the substance of a licensed appraisal. County Board of Equalization (then State Board of Equalization) panels see hundreds of cases; a signed, USPAP-compliant report is the document they can act on.
We’re not an AVM, a computer model, or a real-estate agent estimate. Every report is prepared under the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and signed by a licensed appraiser in your state — the same qualification required for mortgage appraisals.
