FINANCIAL ADVANTAGE
Additional Benefits For Nevada Veterans
Nevada Veterans and their families may qualify for valuable state benefits that can lower property taxes, reduce higher-education costs, and make buying a home more affordable. Understanding the Nevada disabled Veteran benefits available to you—from property tax exemptions to education fee waivers and Veteran-friendly homebuyer assistance—can help you make the most of the benefits you’ve earned through military service.
Tax Relief
Property Tax Exemptions for Veterans in Nevada
- Veterans with a permanent service-connected disability of 60% or higher can receive an enhanced property tax exemption. Nevada's Disabled Veteran Exemption is based on disability percentage, with statutory base exemptions of $10,000 of assessed value for 60–79% disability, $15,000 for 80–99%, and $20,000 for total permanent disability. These amounts are adjusted annually for inflation and may be applied to qualifying property taxes or the Governmental Services Tax on a vehicle.
- Nevada offers a separate property tax exemption to other qualifying Veterans. The general Veterans Exemption has a statutory base of $2,000 of assessed property value, also adjusted annually for inflation. Qualifying Veterans can apply the exemption toward property taxes or the Governmental Services Tax on a vehicle, but a Veteran who qualifies for the Disabled Veteran Exemption cannot receive both exemptions.
Family Tuition Assistance
Education Benefits for Nevada Veterans & Families
- Purple Heart recipients can receive significant college fee waivers. Eligible Veterans awarded the Purple Heart can receive a waiver of registration, laboratory, and other mandatory fees at Nevada System of Higher Education institutions. The waiver applies after eligible federal education benefits have been credited, and recipients are considered Nevada residents for tuition purposes.
- Children of Purple Heart Veterans can qualify, too. Nevada expanded the Purple Heart Fee Waiver to eligible children of Purple Heart recipients. Among other requirements, the child must have graduated from a Nevada high school, and the Veteran must be a Nevada resident or have been a Nevada resident at the time of death. The benefit generally must be used within 10 years after the child turns 18, or within 10 years after enrollment if the student enrolled before age 18.
- Additional fee waivers or grants-in-aid are available for certain spouses and children of Nevada National Guard members killed in the line of duty or of service members killed while permanently stationed in Nevada.
Home Financing
Home Loan Benefits for Nevada Veterans
- Nevada Veterans can combine VA financing with state homebuyer assistance. The Nevada Housing Division's Home Is Possible programs include options for VA borrowers, including HIP down-payment assistance of up to 5% of the loan amount for eligible first-time and repeat buyers. The program does not universally require borrowers to be first-time homebuyers.
- Nevada also maintains a Home Is Possible option specifically for Heroes. The current HIP for Heroes offering is available with qualifying VA and USDA loans and provides a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. Current program terms include income, credit-score, purchase-price, property, and debt-to-income requirements, so Veterans should verify the latest rates and eligibility before applying.
