Local funding: Levies and bonds

In general levies are for learning (curricula, security and safety, activities, student support services, school improvements) and bonds are for buildings (new construction and replacement schools). A capital levy (approved in 2024 for three years: 2025-2027) will pay for repairs and updates.

Sample tax amounts

To calculate the amount that you’ll owe annually in school taxes, please use the following formula:

Assessed home value ÷ 1,000 x levy and/or bond rate

Assessed home values (which vary from market values) are determined by the Clark County Assessor’s Office.

Your home’s assessed value affects your overall tax bill.
