Property tax appeal · Clark County, NV
Appeal your property taxes in Clark County, NV.
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.

The evidence
Boards act on value, not frustration.
However Nevada labels the process, the case underneath is the same: show what your home was actually worth on the assessment date. A licensed, USPAP-compliant appraisal, with comparable sales, documented adjustments and a signed opinion of value, is that showing.

The process
How Nevada handles appeals.
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.
Worth knowing in Nevada
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.

What evidence should I bring?
Comparable sales as of the assessment date, adjusted for the differences between those homes and yours — potential supporting evidence. Check the reviewing authority’s rules for admissibility, valuation date, forms and filing. An appraisal does not guarantee a reduction.
