Community Impact
What It Means for Nye County
The campus is poised to be one of the single largest taxpayers in Nye County while asking almost nothing of local services in return.
Tax Revenue
What It Means for Nye County

$22.4M/yr
Personal Property Tax
Annual and recurring — even after the state abatement is applied.
$114.3M/yr
Total Annual Property Tax
Every year, recurring — going directly to Nye County schools, public safety, and local services.

Year
Preliminary estimates of combined real property tax and post-abatement personal property tax. Schedule is based on the project's current build schedule. Years 1–5 reflect phased build-out; the decline after Year 6 is personal property depreciation. Real property tax and personal property tax continue permanently after Year 10.
Plus $12M in one-time county impact fees
Paid as building permits are pulled during construction — funding drainage and flood control, street improvements, and fire and sheriff facilities.
* All tax figures reflect estimates at full buildout, upon reassessment and addition to the tax rolls. Real and personal property tax figures are annual and recurring. Impact fees are one-time payments. Subject to final county fee schedules.
