Las Vegas announced July 20, 2026 that its utility-tax rebate program for lower-income residents aged 60 and older was reopening with higher income limits. The notice concerned franchise taxes paid on 2025 electricity, telephone and gas bills, rather than repayment of every charge on a household’s utility bill. [1]
The city set an August 1–October 15, 2026 application window and required appointments at designated community or active-adult centers. Forms were not available online. Applicants needed bills, identification, income documentation and proof of payment, with names and physical addresses matching the requirements. The announcement covered electric, telephone and gas franchise taxes billed by the named utilities. [1]
The release placed the income threshold below 150% of the federal poverty level, listing $23,475 for one person and $31,725 for two. Qualifying homeowners could also seek a partial rebate of their 2025 sewer bill for their primary residence. Those figures and conditions reflect the July announcement, rather than a fresh determination of eligibility. [1]
