Las Vegas, NV — income, home value, property tax, and sales tax.
In ZIP code 89161, near Las Vegas, homes carry a median value of $850,600, yet the county-level effective property tax rate is just 0.48%, yielding an annual bill near $4,083. That figure sits well below what the steep home prices might imply, but it still equals roughly 8% of the median household income of $51,250. Per-capita income reaches $42,241, and the combined sales tax rate is 8.38%. The gap between high property values and comparatively lower earnings shapes the affordability picture here: ownership demands substantial income, even with the tax rate itself staying low.
