Lawmakers challenge school and government revenue fairness
Two Clark County Democrats in a taxation committee accuse local favoritism in property assessments with Strip hotels taxed at 6 to 17 percent of full cash value while homeowners pay 35 percent. SB 301 and AB 522, aiming to strengthen assessment, fail to gain teeth and face floor opposition. SB 301 would let the tax commission adjust valuations, while AB 522 would curb immediate tax gains from higher assessments.
