Nevada Retirement

Nevada Retirement Information

Nevada is largely desert and semiarid, with much of it located within the Great Basin. Areas south of the Great Basin are located within the Mojave Desert, while Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada lie on the western edge. Approximately 86% of the state's land is owned by various jurisdictions of the U.S. federal government, both civilian and military. Nevada has no state income tax and no inheritance tax.

Nevada is often thought of as bright lights and winning big at the craps table but there is so much more. The range of living options are vast from the mountain spots high up in the Sierra Nevadas to the hot dry areas of the Mojave Desert where Las Vegas is located.

Nearly three-quarters of Nevada's people live in the Las Vegas area. For those who like the water, nearby Lake Mead is a great place to go.
