Submetering in Nevada

Last reviewed by NES Editorial · September 2026

Nevada has no apartment submetering statute, so the lease sets the billing terms. See the cities NES serves and what owners recover.

Submetering pays for itself at most Nevada properties. Residents are billed for what their unit uses, consumption drops, and the owner stops absorbing the master-meter bill. Nevada has no apartment submetering statute, so the lease sets the billing terms. NES has done the installs, daily reads, and resident billing in-house since 1968.

Common questions

Submetering in Nevada

Yes. Nevada has no statewide submetering statute for apartments, so water, gas, and electric submetering and allocation billing are governed by the lease and widely used. NES sets up billing to pass through the utility's charges at cost, with any fees spelled out in the lease, and as a best practice the total billed should not exceed what the property pays the utility. (The PUCN's NAC 704.985 utility-billing rule applies to mobile-home parks, not apartments.) NES tracks the requirements so your property stays compliant.
