What Clark County property tax looks like
Among the 30 counties covered here, Clark County has the 29th highest effective rate and the 28th highest median bill. Every $100,000 of value carries about $497 of tax a year at this rate.
On a $400,000 purchase that comes to roughly $1,988 a year, or $166 a month. Priced at the Nevada average rate instead, the same home would cost $2 a month less in tax.
Nevada generally limits the yearly increase in the tax bill on an owner-occupied primary home to 3%, and applies the rate to an assessed value set at 35% of taxable value.
Example monthly payment at the median home value
Borrowing $320,640 against a $400,800 Clark County home (20% down, 6.5% for 30 years, illustrative rather than quoted) works out as follows.

|---|---|
| Principal and interest | $2,027 |
| Property tax | $166 |
| Homeowners insurance | $150 |
| Mortgage insurance (PMI) | $0 |
| Total | $2,343 |
Property tax is 7.1% of the $2,343 total, so a lender escrowing it would set aside about $166 each month toward the Clark County bill.
