Federal information processing standards codes (FIPS codes) are a standardized set of numeric or alphabetic codes issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to ensure uniform identification of geographic entities. FIPS codes are used heavily by federal, state, regional and local government. The entities covered include: states and statistically equivalent entities, counties and statistically equivalent entities, named populated and related location entities (such as city, places and county subdivisions). A FIPS Code is used to associate each boundary to the corresponding tax rates. More information on FIPS Codes is available at the NIST website. Nevada FIPS Codes
The FIPS Code for the State of Nevada is 32. County FIPS Codes can be downloaded by clicking on the links below. These comma delimited test files (.csv) contain the FIPS Codes for Nevada counties.
