What this benefit is

A separate, smaller exemption — $2,000 of assessed value at the statutory base, CPI-grown since 2005 — for wartime-era service or 90 continuous days of active duty, no disability required.

What it's worth: $3,640 of assessed value (FY 2026-27)

  • This is the FY 2026-27 amount. The statutory base is $2,000, CPI-adjusted upward since 2005, so it rises each fiscal year.
  • The exemption comes off assessed value, not off your bill. What it saves depends on your county rate.

Who is entitled to it

  • You received an honorable discharge or certificate of satisfactory service.
  • You served during a listed period, or 90 continuous days on active duty, or in a medal-authorised campaign.
  • You are a bona fide Nevada resident.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

Deadline: June 15
  1. 1File the affidavit with the county assessor with the DD214.
  2. 2The 90-continuous-days route means most non-wartime veterans qualify too — do not self-select out on the wartime label.
  3. 3Ask about pointing the exemption at the vehicle governmental services tax instead — the option is widely described and worth confirming for your county.

Worth knowingThis stacks conceptually beside the disabled veteran exemption — a rated wartime veteran should ask the assessor which combination the county applies.
CorrectionThe name misleads: 90 continuous days of active duty, or service in any campaign for which a medal was authorised, qualifies without wartime-era dates.

Why only one source type: The statute reproduction states the service windows, the 90-day route, the base amount and the CPI adjustment; the Department of Taxation FAQ with current figures is a PDF that could not be extracted.
