Veterans Benefits in Nevada

Nevada operates the Nevada State Veterans Home in Boulder City providing skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care to qualifying Nevada veterans at reduced cost based on income and VA eligibility.

Nevada grants veterans a 10-point preference on state civil service examinations. Veterans with a service-connected disability receive additional priority consideration.

Veterans with a service-connected disability of 60% or greater receive an annual property tax exemption on their primary residence. The exemption value increases with disability rating and is adjusted for inflation.

Nevada has no state income tax, meaning military retirement pay, VA disability compensation, SBP payments, and all other veteran income is completely free from state income taxation.

Nevada resident veterans may receive free or discounted annual permits to Nevada state parks. Disabled veterans with 100% rating receive free entry.

Nevada veterans with a 50% or greater service-connected disability may receive free or reduced-fee hunting and fishing licenses.

Nevada operates two state veterans cemeteries in Boulder City and Fernley providing burial at no cost for eligible veterans, their spouses, and dependents.

Nevada veterans with a 100% service-connected disability rating are eligible for the Disabled Veteran license plate. The plate carries no annual renewal fees and exempts the vehicle from Nevada state and local parking fees. It also authorizes parking in handicapped spaces. The initial issuance fee is nominal ($8.50). Application must be made in person at the DMV with a VA letter confirming 100% service-connected disability.
