As early as this week, Clark County and Las Vegas could affirm a 30-year extension for a property tax that funds one-quarter of Metropolitan Police Department officer positions, according to meeting agenda items.

The 0.2 percent “ad valorem” tax — which pays for 825 Metro officers — sums up to 20 cents for every $100 assessed on properties within the city and unincorporated county.

The 2025 Legislature approved the extension until 2057, which the local governments have to affirm.

Voters originally greenlit the tax in 1996. It expires in 2027.

The Clark County Commission will consider the extension Tuesday, followed by the Las Vegas City Council on Wednesday.

During special meetings in April, the local governing bodies unanimously endorsed Senate Bill 451, which was introduced by Sen.
