Clark and Washoe counties deed property into the treasurer-as-trustee after 3 consecutive fiscal years delinquent (NRS 361.585, 361.590). Sales: County sales vary; at least annually in most large counties, typically spring — Clark County usually spring with a possible fall sale, Washoe County usually April Governing law: Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 361, NRS 361.570, 361.585, 361.590 and 361.595 (see also NRS 361.5648 et seq. delinquency notices).

Minimum bid is the greater of delinquent taxes/penalties/interest/costs or assessed value in Washoe County practice; excess proceeds must be claimed within 1 year of deed recording (NRS 361.610). |
