Lower property taxes for veterans’ surviving spouses

The law extends Nevada property tax breaks to qualifying surviving spouses of veterans. The basic exemption removes up to $2,000 from the property’s assessed value. For permanent service-connected disabilities, the exemption amounts are $20,000 for 100% disability, $15,000 for 80–99%, and $10,000 for 60–79%. These are assessed-value reductions, not cash payments or dollar-for-dollar tax savings. The amounts are adjusted annually for inflation beginning in fiscal year 2005–2006. Spouses must be Nevada residents, have no remarriage, and have been married to and living with the veteran for five years before death. The veteran must have met the service and discharge requirements and qualified at death, or qualified had they been a Nevada resident. The disability exemption requires an honorable discharge and proof of permanent service-connected disability. A spouse claiming the basic exemption cannot also claim Nevada’s separate surviving-spouse exemption; governmental services tax relief also reduces the basic property exemption. Receiving the disability exemption solely as a surviving spouse does not prevent claiming the basic exemption as a veteran.
