It’s not just Las Vegas that the state of Nevada is known for, although the idea of living in one of the nation’s top entertainment centers is an exciting one. Beyond that, Nevada has beautiful desert landscapes, a growing job market and endless outdoor activities to indulge as well as having great tax benefits for its residents.

Living in Nevada

People choose to reside in Nevada for a variety of reasons, from the desire to live in a desert oasis to a need for a tax-friendly home. Whatever purpose has driven you to look into this, the facts remain the same—Nevada is one of the few tax-friendly states in the country. Being eligible for those benefits requires more than just property ownership.

Establishing a domicile is the first step toward gaining state-related tax advantages. If you’re someone who owns multiple homes in different states and travels often, you’ll need to prove to Nevada that you’re an official resident. This can be accomplished through a variety of strategies, including updating your permanent address on items such as your mail, driver’s license and car title. You’ll also want to take steps to show your dedication to the state, such as changing your voter registration or applying for a library card.
