About Nevada's homestead exemption
A Declaration of Homestead offers creditor protection, but no property tax break. Nevada's homestead works as a recorded declaration that protects home equity from creditors. The equity threshold under the cited statute is $605,000.
To apply, sign a declaration of homestead before a notary and record it with the county recorder where the property is located.
