Notes

Nevada tax-deed (trustee) sale for the consolidated city-county of Carson City (not part of any surrounding county). Treasurer holds parcels in trust after the statutory delinquency window, then auctions tax-defaulted real property under NRS Ch. 361. 2026 cycle ran online via Bid4Assets (Carson City Tax Defaulted Properties; deposit deadline mid-April 2026, sale window around April 22, 2026). Board of Supervisors reviews the delinquent list before the Treasurer proceeds to public sale. Excess-proceeds claims process applies (NRS 361.610). Capital-city / state-government employment market with Reno–Tahoe corridor spillover — not Las Vegas inventory quality.

Deposit rules

Register and fund any required deposit through the published auction platform before the deposit deadline (2026 Bid4Assets cycle: deposit deadline ~April 15, 2026; full payment / settlement shortly after close). Certified funds typical; no informal walk-up bidding. Confirm exact deposit amount, processing fees, and settlement deadline with Carson City Treasurer (775-887-2092 / treasurer@carsoncity.gov) and the live storefront before funding.

Title risk

Liens that survive the sale

Nevada treasurer's / trustee's tax deed generally extinguishes most private liens that attached before the sale, but federal tax liens (IRS 120-day post-sale redemption) and some assessments/easements can survive. Properties are commonly sold AS IS subject to existing covenants, rights-of-way, and possible municipal utility liens — run a full title and municipal lien search before bidding.

Quiet title

Practically required for many title insurers before resale of Nevada tax-deed property; NRS 361.600 also limits recovery actions to 2 years after the treasurer's quitclaim deed.

NRS 361.225 fixes the assessment ratio at 35% of taxable value for all property. NRS 361.227 determines taxable value as the full cash value of the land plus the replacement cost of improvements less depreciation, where depreciation runs at 1.5% of replacement cost for each year of adjusted actual age up to a maximum of 50 years.
