Senior and property taxes
From "Welcome to The Nevada Forum!"
Go to the project
The cost to live in Nevada for retired seniors is way too high with the taxes on property, goods, gasoline, etc. I would like to see property taxes adjusted for seniors who own their own. Eliminate the school tax portion of property taxes or provide a 50% discount. This would help own a home in Nevada for seniors. You can base it on income but make it a reasonable income basis because what is considered low income is way too low for Nevadas cost of living.

Senior should not be taxed for their property. When you purchase a home, you’re purchasing the land we shouldn’t have to pay taxes to the state for our land and our home. A special of you’re a senior on Social Security and you’ve been paying property taxes your whole life.

I agree that property taxes are high. We are seniors that own our home yet we pay just over $250 a month (in 2025) for taxes and insurance just to own it. Those costs go up every year. Even as our home ages the property taxes and insurance increase by a minimum of $100 per year each. I realize that setting the rates are influenced by many factors, but it would be helpful to seniors on a fixed income to get a break on taxes and insurance. I also agree that reducing or eliminating the school tax portion for seniors would be fair. We have not had kids in school for many years.
