Tax Revenue Distribution

Measurement Period: 2023

Washoe County revenues for distribution of state taxes pursuant to Nevada consolidated tax distribution (Local Government Tax Act of 1991 and 1993; also know as Fairshare or AB104). State fiscal year (September through August).

Why is this important?

Tax revenues are an economic indicator just as business growth, but because taxes are fixed, it is unclear if it’s better if tax revenues go up or down.  The proportion of revenues from the gaming tax has decreased consistently since 2004, and almost every state now has some for of gaming, reducing Nevada tourism. Nevada has no personal income tax; overall, this creates a high sales tax burden for Nevada residents.  The 2001 intention to reduce dependence on property taxes through caps, in conjunction with declining property values throughout the recession, left local government with tax deficits, while population growth continues to burden service delivery. Nevada surely needs a more diversified, functional tax structure for the future.
