StatewideThe base rate combines the county tax under NRS 375.020 (65 cents per $500 in a county whose population is less than 700,000; $1.25 in a county whose population is 700,000 or more) and the additional $1.30 per $500 state tax under NRS 375.023. Both are imposed on each deed or land sale installment contract where the value exceeds $100, and are computed on the value declared under NRS 375.060. The Department of Taxation lists additional county rates: Washoe and Churchill Counties add $0.10; Clark County adds $0.60. Exemptions are listed in NRS 375.090.
