Did you know?  The best way to understand the residential communities of Clark County is by way of Master Planned Communities. Almost every city in the county is strategic with local with developers to make sure all projects fit with the city.  As a result, when most residents are talking about where they live, the will say something like “I live in Green Valley, Summerlin or Aliante.” Every other community in the Clark County, Nevada is either a part of or near one of the Master Planned Communities.

It's important to understand property tax issues in Clark County. In 2005 the Nevada Legislature enforced a 3% annual cap on owner occupied residences and an 8% annual cap on investment and commercial property. While initially this caused an uproar with many Clark County residents, it is projected to save taxpayers $1 billion in property taxes over the next 2 years.  Local casino owner's also had some problems with this legislation as it has resulted in tax increases on their real estate holdings.

Regardless, the new legislation creates a good balance between the public services provided by Clark County (parks, safety, streets, and libraries) and the burden placed on property owners. At the very least, there is now a consistent method in how our property taxes will work.
