The tax rate is proposed in April of each year based on the budgets prepared by the various local governments: counties, cities, school districts and general or special improvement districts such as fire protection districts, etc. The property tax bill separately states the various rates levied in the county, including any rate levied for debt. The operating rates for the county, each town and each general and special district functions within each county are respectively determined by the County Commission, Town Boards, Improvement Districts and other District Boards to cover the functions for which they are responsible. Those rates may increase, decrease or remain the same, depending on the actions of the elected officials. Other rates, such as the school district operating and indigent fund rates are set in Nevada Revised Statutes. Debt rates are usually voter approved, although local government debt shorter than 10 years is approved by the Department of Taxation and the rate for State debt is set by the legislature.
