Nevada Tax Commission Raises Assessment But Balances State Tax
The Nevada Tax Commission aims to raise state assessed valuation from 120 to 135 million dollars, reducing county taxes but not lowering overall government cost. State tax rate drops from 66 to 60 cents, yet revenue remains near last year’s level due to higher valuation. Total state expenditures must decrease to reflect the new assessment, as the Reno Journal notes the net effect is not a clear economy.
