How Nevada Property Tax Appeals Work
In Nevada the county assessor values your property each year and mails a notice of assessed valuation. You appeal to the county Board of Equalization, and if that fails you can appeal to the State Board of Equalization. The key dates are fixed by statute, so they are the same in every county. NRS Chapter 361
The Notice: December 18
Whenever property on the secured tax roll is appraised or reappraised, the county assessor must deliver or mail a written notice of the assessed valuation on or before December 18 of the fiscal year. Clark County adds that all property in the county is appraised every year. Washoe County lists January 1 as the close of the real property roll and the deadline for mailing value notices, and notes that the actual date may be earlier. NRS Chapter 361 Clark County, Board of Equalization Washoe County Assessor, Important Dates
The Deadline: January 15
Every appeal to a county Board of Equalization must be filed not later than January 15. If January 15 falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the appeal may be filed on the next business day. Before you can file, you complete a form provided by the county assessor, and the assessor may ask for your parcel number first. For the current cycle, the date is Friday, January 15, 2027.

County boards meet through the winter. Clark County says its board meets every year from mid-January through mid-March, with dates posted in January. Boards must finish the business of equalization on or before the last day of February, except for matters remanded by the State Board. Clark County, Board of Equalization NRS Chapter 361
Two Ways to Argue Your Case
Full cash value is below the taxable value (NRS 361.357). If you believe your property's full cash value is less than the taxable value the assessor computed, you can appeal on that ground. The board looks at full cash value on January 1 before the fiscal year and, if you are right, corrects the land value or fixes a percentage of obsolescence on the improvements. An appeal under this section cannot result in an increase in the taxable value.
Equity (NRS 361.356). If your property was assessed higher than another property whose use is identical and whose location is comparable, you can appeal on that ground. For residential property, you should cite other property within the same subdivision if possible. If the board finds an inequity, it can add to or deduct from your value or the value of the comparison property to equalize them.
What Happens at the Hearing
Clark County describes the order of a hearing: a brief assessor statement to identify the property, your presentation of evidence establishing value, the assessor's evidence supporting its opinion, a short rebuttal from you, then questions from the board. Many taxpayers present their own case, and you do not need an attorney. Clark County also says not to ask for continuances or changes of meeting dates. Clark County, Board of Equalization
If the County Board Says No: State Board of Equalization
A taxpayer aggrieved by the county board's action can appeal to the State Board of Equalization on or before March 10 (the next business day if March 10 is a weekend or holiday). The appeal is presented on the same facts and evidence submitted to the county board, unless you discover new evidence that you could not have found with due diligence before the county board adjourned. New evidence must be submitted in writing to the State Board and served on the county assessor at least 7 days before the hearing. This means your county board case needs your best evidence the first time. NRS 361.360 Washoe County Assessor, Important Dates
The 3 Percent Tax Cap
Nevada's Legislature has found that an increase in a homeowner's tax bill of more than 3 percent over the previous year is a severe economic hardship, and it directs a partial abatement of taxes for the owner of a single-family residence that is the owner's primary residence. The abatement is computed under the formula in NRS 361.4723. It is separate from your assessed value appeal, so check that your property is getting it. Washoe County lists a June 15 deadline for rental properties to file the partial abatement form for the next fiscal year and June 30 for appealing a determination for the current fiscal year.

Nevada property tax FAQs
What is the deadline to appeal a property assessment in Nevada?
January 15 of the fiscal year in which the assessment was made. If January 15 falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the appeal may be filed the next business day. The statute sets the same deadline for every county board of equalization. For the 2026-27 fiscal year, that is January 15, 2027, a Friday.
When do I get my Nevada assessment notice?
The county assessor must deliver or mail the notice of assessed valuation on or before December 18 of the fiscal year in which the appraisal is made. Clark County says all property is appraised every year and notices follow that rule.
What grounds can I use to appeal to the county Board of Equalization?
Two common ones in the statute. First, the full cash value of your property is less than its taxable value (NRS 361.357), and an appeal on that ground cannot raise your value. Second, an equity appeal (NRS 361.356): your property is assessed higher than another property whose use is identical and location comparable, and for residential property you should cite other property in the same subdivision if possible.
What if the county board denies my appeal?
You can appeal to the State Board of Equalization on or before March 10 (next business day if it falls on a weekend or holiday). The appeal is presented on the same facts and evidence given to the county board, unless new evidence was discovered that could not have been found with due diligence before the county board adjourned.
What is Nevada's 3 percent tax cap?
A partial abatement of property taxes for owners of single-family residences that are their primary residence. The Legislature says a tax bill increase of more than 3 percent over the prior year is a severe hardship and directs an abatement for such homeowners under a formula in NRS 361.4723. Washoe County lists June 15 as the deadline for rental properties to file the form for the next fiscal year and June 30 for appealing a determination for the current year.
