County notes
- Lyon County combines the Clerk and Treasurer into a single elected office, so the same office that keeps county records also collects taxes and runs the trustee auction.
- The trustee auction runs only in odd-numbered years; the county lists the next sale for June 2027, so investors watching Lyon County should expect no auction in 2026.
- The county's Tax Sale Information page posts the auction notice, terms of sale, and the post-sale excess proceeds log, making it the page to watch for the 2027 parcel list.
Nevada rules
- Redemption
- The trustee's certificate is dated the first Monday in June, and the county treasurer holds the property subject to redemption for 2 years after that date, or 1 year for property determined abandoned under NRS 361.567. Even after the unredeemed parcel is deeded to the county treasurer as trustee, the owner and other interested persons can still have the property reconveyed by paying everything owed, up to the close of business on the third business day before the day of the sale. On the separate local-government acquisition track under NRS 361.603, the last known owner instead gets a 90-day window after the notice of intent to sell, and no reconveyance is allowed after that window expires.
- Deed deposit
- NRS Chapter 361 sets no statutory bidder deposit for trustee sales. Registration, deposit and payment deadlines are set county by county in each auction's terms, so confirm them on the county treasurer's page before bidding.
- Surplus proceeds
- After the taxes and costs on the parcel are paid, the county keeps the first $300 of the excess proceeds plus 10 percent of the next $10,000. The remainder goes into a separate interest-bearing account, and persons with recorded interests may claim it in writing within 1 year after the treasurer's deed is recorded, paid in a statutory priority order that runs through recorded lienholders before the former owner. Unclaimed money is split 5 percent to the account created by NRS 249.095 and the rest to the county general fund, with no later refund. A fee for helping a claimant recover excess proceeds is capped at 10 percent of the amount due.
A tax deed does not convey marketable title. Most buyers file a quiet title action before they can resell or insure the property. See the due diligence guide.
