LIMITATIONS ON REVENUES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

The amount of revenue that a political subdivision is allowed to generate by taxes ad valorem

except for debt service is limited by Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 354.59811. In general, a local

government cannot receive an increase in property tax revenue of more than 6 percent over the

maximum revenue allowed for the prior year (excluding new construction). Local government

revenues are also limited by the partial tax abatements established by the Nevada Legislature in

2005 which cap the increases in total property taxes paid annually. NRS 361.4722 provides that

tax liability in excess of 8% over the prior year will be abated for non-residential property. NRS

361.4723 and NRS 361.4724 provide that tax liability in excess of 3% over the prior year will be

abated for single-family residences and for qualifying residential rental property.

ASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY

NRS 361.225 mandates that all property subject to taxation must be assessed at 35% of its taxable

value. The taxable value of the property is determined pursuant to NRS 361.227.

Vacant land is appraised at full cash value by considering its location and the uses to which it

may lawfully be put. The taxable value of improved land is determined by considering the use to

which the improvements are being put. The improvements are valued at present replacement cost

less all applicable depreciation. Statutory depreciation is calculated at 1.5 percent of the current

replacement cost for each year to a maximum of 50 years. Personal property is appraised based

on cost, the year acquired, and its estimated useful life as determined by schedules established by

the Nevada Tax Commission.

DETERMINATION OF COMBINED TAX RATES

The combined tax rate for taxes ad valorem is calculated as follows:

a. Operating rate (limited by NRS 354.59811) for each taxing entity.

b. Debt rate for each taxing entity, which is a rate sufficient to generate the

revenue to pay principal and interest on the outstanding tax-supported debt.

c. Combined school rate which includes a legislatively approved operating rate for all

schools in the state and the debt rate for each individual school district.

d. State rate which is a legislatively approved rate that is used to support state bonds and

special major statewide projects such as dams or state parks.

Due to the change enacted by AB 46 (effective May 24, 2011), charges for certain groundwater

basins are no longer included as a part of this combined tax rate and will be shown as a separate

line item on your tax bill.
