LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Low-income seniors in Las Vegas could get a little financial relief from their utility taxes. It's part of a rebate program that is offered by the City of Las Vegas.
According to the city, seniors who qualify may receive a rebate on the franchise tax they paid for local utilities throughout 2023. Utilities include electric power, a landline telephone, and natural gas. Low-income homeowners who qualify can also apply for a partial rebate of the annual sewer bill on their primary residence located within the city of Las Vegas.
To qualify, seniors must be at least 60 years old. Individuals must make less than $16,500 to qualify while married couples/head of household must make less than $18,900 annually.
