Nevada Foreclosure Guide
Nevada is a non-judicial (trustee sale) state with some of the fastest foreclosure timelines in the country — as little as 120 days. Clark County (Las Vegas) trustee sales happen every weekday at the county recorder's office. Nevada's HOA super-lien law allows associations to foreclose a lien senior to the first mortgage for up to nine months of unpaid assessments.

County-Level Exceptions Investors Should Know
Statewide rules only tell part of the story. These county-level quirks catch out-of-state investors off guard.
Clark County (Las Vegas)
Nevada's HOA super-lien statute (NRS 116) allows HOAs to foreclose a lien senior to the first mortgage for up to nine months of unpaid dues. After a series of US Supreme Court and Ninth Circuit decisions (Bourne Valley, SFR Investments), HOA lien buyers receive clean title — but lenders fought this for years. Buyers of properties that went through HOA foreclosure (not mortgage foreclosure) should confirm the HOA's compliance with all statutory notice requirements.
Washoe County (Reno)
Washoe County trustee sales include properties in the Tahoe Basin subject to Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) environmental regulations. TRPA restrictions on coverage, impervious surface, and setbacks are regulatory (not recorded liens) but can prevent otherwise permissible development.
