For many California households, yes, particularly at higher income levels. Nevada has no state income tax and no state capital gains tax. California’s top marginal state income tax rate is 13.3%, rising to 14.4% for wages over $1 million through the 2024 SDI expansion. For a household earning $500,000, the annual state tax delta alone is $60,000 to $70,000 that disappears with the move. For households executing a significant capital gains event (business sale, RSU vesting, real estate sale) the delta is often much larger. Beyond the tax structure, the Las Vegas valley offers larger buildable lot sizes than most California markets at comparable price points, a construction industry with the depth of trades to build at a high level, and a growing luxury custom home market across MacDonald Highlands, The Ridges, Ascaya and other master-planned communities. Whether the move is worth it depends on your specific tax situation, family circumstances and lifestyle priorities. Consult a tax advisor for specific numbers on your situation. Kingdom & Co. builds for California buyers relocating for these reasons regularly.
