Disabled Veteran Exemption — Tiered and Inflation-Indexed

From a permanent 60% service-connected disability, a tiered slice of assessed value comes off — and the tiers rise with inflation every fiscal year.

Verified August 25, 2026

What this benefit is

From a permanent 60% service-connected disability, a tiered slice of assessed value comes off — and the tiers rise with inflation every fiscal year.

What it's worth: Assessed value off by band: $18,200 at 60–79%, $27,300 at 80–99%, $36,400 at 100% (FY 2026-27)

  • These are the FY 2026-27 amounts. The statutory base is $10,000, $15,000 and $20,000, CPI-indexed since 2003, so the figure 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

  • Your permanent service-connected disability is 60% or more.
  • Your home is in Nevada.

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 your county assessor with VA documentation showing the permanent service-connected percentage.
  2. 2Check the current-year figures rather than the statutory bases — the CPI adjustment has nearly doubled them since 2003.
  3. 3Ask the assessor about pointing the exemption at the governmental services tax on a vehicle instead of at property — the option is widely described, and worth confirming for your county before choosing.

Worth knowingThe bands index by CPI from 2003, so the real figures are far above the statutory ones — approximately $17,700 / $26,550 / $35,400 for FY 2025-26. A veteran reading the statute alone would underestimate this by almost half.
Worth knowingThe surviving spouse route has a specific gate: married to and living with the veteran for the five years preceding death, and unremarried.
CorrectionNevada levies no personal income tax on anyone. Lists that present that as a veteran benefit overstate it — it is the state’s tax system, not a concession to veterans, and this corpus records it here rather than as a benefit.

Sources

Why only one source type: The statute reproduction on nevada.public.law states the bands, the CPI adjustment and the surviving spouse conditions. The Department of Taxation's FAQ carrying the current-year figures is a PDF we could not extract, so the adjusted amounts are published as approximate.
