Option 1: Pay or Redeem
The most direct path is to pay the delinquent amount. Even after the trustee certificate is issued, NRS 361.570 lets you redeem by paying the back taxes, accruing taxes, penalties, costs, and 10% annual interest (assessed monthly) any time before the redemption period expires. If you can cover it, redemption stops the process cold.
Option 2: Contact the Clark County Treasurer Early
Do not ignore the notices. The Clark County Treasurer is the office that administers delinquent taxes under NRS 361, and contacting them early to understand exactly where your property stands — the certificate date, the amount due, the redemption deadline — is the foundation for every other decision. The second notice the law requires is sent by certified mail at least 60 days before the window closes; that letter is important, not junk.
Option 3: Sell Before the Window Closes
If paying the full delinquent balance is not realistic, selling inside the redemption period is often the smartest way to protect your equity. A sale clears the taxes from the proceeds at closing, and you keep what remains. This is the difference between walking away with money and losing the home to a trustee deed for nothing.
What Not to Do: Nothing
The one path that guarantees the worst outcome is ignoring it. The 10% interest keeps accruing monthly, and the redemption window keeps shrinking. Avoidance is understandable when official mail feels threatening — but with a defined Nevada timeline, every week of delay costs money and options.
