Las Vegas announces that low-income seniors can receive sewer and utility tax rebates

The City of Las Vegas announced today that they are offering a Utility Tax Rebate Program to low-income seniors who reside within the city limits.

Seniors aged 60 and above who qualify receive a rebate on the franchise tax they paid for local utilities throughout the 2019 year. These utilities include electric power, land-line telephone and natural gas.

Applicants must make an income of less than $16,500 for an individual or $18,900 for those filing married/head of household.

Applicants must bring copies of their 2019 local NV Energy, Southwest Gas and CenturyLink/Cox Communications telephone bills, photo identification proof of income, proof of bill payment and other supporting documentation to fill out an application.

Identification and bills must match physical address. Low-income homeowners ages 60+ who qualify also may apply for a partial rebate of the annual sewer bill on their primary residence located within the city of Las Vegas. The Utility Tax Rebate Program applications may be filed with the city through March 13, 2020. Application forms are not available online; applicants must apply at one of the centers listed below.
