Nevada Veteran's and Disabled Veteran's Property Tax Exemption (NV Veteran Tax Exemption)
Reduces a Nevada veteran's property tax bill or vehicle registration governmental services tax by an exempt dollar amount. Veterans with a permanent service-connected disability of 60% or more get a larger exemption, ranging from $17,700 to $35,400 of assessed value depending on disability rating; other honorably discharged wartime veterans get a smaller flat exemption of $3,540.
Who it is for
Honorably discharged veterans who are Nevada residents. The basic exemption requires at least 90 continuous days of active duty during a recognized wartime period (or service in a campaign that earned a U.S. government medal). The larger disabled veteran exemption requires a permanent service-connected disability rating of 60% or more from the VA. A qualifying surviving spouse may also be eligible.

How you apply: Apply through your state.
How to apply
- Contact your county assessor's office (the exemption is applied for locally in the county where you own property or register a vehicle).

- Choose whether to apply the exemption to your real property tax bill, your vehicle governmental services tax, or split it between both.
Deadline: This is an annual exemption you apply for through your county assessor. It can generally be requested any time before your property taxes or vehicle registration taxes are due, and it must be renewed or reapplied each year through the assessor's process. (Annual cycle)
