Who rents in Clark County

Renters head 364,134 of Clark County's 862,518 occupied households, a 42.2% share in the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey. Owners hold the larger group, 498,384 households, but the renter base is large enough to anchor steady multifamily demand across the county. Las Vegas carries the biggest share of that renter population, with 107,416 renter households, 29.5% of Clark County's total.

Henderson and North Las Vegas add another 77,298 renter households between them, so the three cities covered here hold just over half of Clark County's renter base. Clark County's median household income rose 28.9% to $76,472 since the 2015-2019 survey, income growth that has run well behind the county's 43.6% jump in median gross rent over the same period.

Property taxes and assessment in Clark County

Clark County taxes real property on an assessed value equal to 35% of taxable value, with taxable value set by the cost method rather than sale price, so a Clark County sale does not reset the tax bill on its own. Nevada's Department of Taxation certified combined FY2026-27 rates near $2.73 per $100 of taxable value for unincorporated Clark County, $3.28 for Las Vegas, $2.96 for Henderson and $3.35 for North Las Vegas. Clark County's abatement cap limits most residential and qualifying rental increases to 3.0% a year and other property to 8.0%, under NRS 361.4723.

Clark County's real property transfer tax runs $2.55 per $500 of value, combining the county's $1.25 per $500 with Nevada's statewide $1.30 per $500 add-on under NRS 375.020 and 375.023, since Clark County's population exceeds 700,000. Buyer and seller are jointly and severally liable for the tax under NRS 375.030, and the county recorder collects it before accepting the deed. Owners can appeal a Clark County assessment to the county Board of Equalization by January 15.

What this means if you sell in Clark County

Owners who sell commercial property in Clark County, NV are working against a 7.1% rental vacancy rate and a median gross rent, $1,626, that has outrun income growth since the 2015-2019 survey. Henderson's higher rent ceiling and Las Vegas's tighter vacancy give multifamily sellers two different stories to tell buyers, depending on which Clark County submarket the property sits in.

Nevada's 60-day notice requirement for rent increases under NRS 118A.300 and the $2.55-per-$500 transfer tax both affect net proceeds on a Clark County closing.
