Credit card transactions are limited to $150,000 per transaction.

Whenever a credit card is used for payment, there is typically a "merchant fee" deducted from the payment amount that gets passed from the credit card company back to the merchant.

This means that the merchant does not collect the full price of the items sold when customers use credit cards for their purchases.

The Treasurer's Office is mandated by state law (NRS 361.470, NRS 361.475) to collect the full amount of property tax billed on a parcel. In order to comply with this regulation and allow property taxes to be paid by credit card, the cost of the transaction is added as a service fee, to be paid by the taxpayer, rather than being taken as a merchant fee from the amount paid.

Credit card service fees are approximately 2.45% of the amount of taxes being paid.

For example: A tax bill of $500.00 would have a service fee of $12.25.

Fees are prominently displayed and acknowledged before the taxpayer finalizes the transaction. Transactions can be canceled if the taxpayer does not agree to pay the service fees.

How can I dispute the charge or the fee after the fact? Disputes are filed the same way any other credit card dispute is handled, between the customer and their credit card issuer.

Yes we are able to process credit card payments with a foreign mailing address.

Both debit and credit cards have the same service fee, whether online or at our front counter.

You can use your bank's bill pay service using your parcel number or identifier number (with no dashes or slashes) as the "account number" in the merchant field set up. Please complete a separate transaction for each parcel. Please allow 5 days for payment to be delivered to our office.

Security of your financial information is important.  Therefore, we are unable to accept payments by telephone.  We do however offer simple online payment options that can be made in a secure environment.
