Nevada land selling questions

Is there a transfer tax when I sell land in Nevada?

Yes. Nevada's real property transfer tax is $1.95 per $500 of value in most counties, or about 0.39%. Washoe and Churchill counties add 10 cents, for $2.05 per $500, and Clark County's rate is $2.55 per $500. The county recorder collects the tax before recording the deed, if the value is over $100. A Declaration of Value form must go with the deed. Source: Nevada Department of Taxation, Real Property Transfer Tax (NRS 375.020, 375.023, 375.030 and 375.060).

What happens if I don't pay property taxes on my Nevada land?

Penalties and interest build, and the county treasurer gets a deed to the land if you do not redeem within 2 years. Missed installments add penalties of 4% to 7% that stack, so a full year unpaid adds about 15% of the tax. If the taxes are still unpaid on the first Monday in June, the treasurer holds the land in trust for the State and county. Redeeming adds 10% yearly interest from the due date, and the redemption period is only 1 year if the county finds the property abandoned. The county can then sell the land after notice, usually including certified mail to the owner at least 90 days before the sale. Source: NRS 361.483, 361.5648, 361.567, 361.570, 361.585 and 361.595.

Can I get my Nevada land back after the county takes it for taxes?

Yes, until the close of business 3 business days before the county treasurer's sale, even after the redemption period ends. You pay the taxes, penalties and costs, plus 10% yearly interest, assessed monthly. If the county approves a local government's request to acquire the land, you have only 90 days after the treasurer's notice to redeem. If the sale brings more than the debt, claim the excess in writing within 1 year after the buyer's deed is recorded. The county first keeps $300 and 10% of the next $10,000, and lienholders are paid before the owner. Source: NRS 361.570, 361.585, 361.603 and 361.610.

Do I have to give a disclosure when I sell vacant land in Nevada?

Only in some cases, because Nevada's general seller disclosure form covers only land with 1 to 4 dwelling units on it. If the lot is next to open range, meaning unenclosed land outside towns where livestock graze, the seller must give a separate written disclosure. The buyer signs it, and the seller records the original with the county recorder. If the lot is in a community with an owners' association, the seller usually must give the buyer a resale package. Ask a Nevada real estate attorney what your sale requires. Source: NRS 113.065, 113.100 and 116.4109, and NRS 568.355.

Do water rights go with my Nevada land when I sell it?

Usually, yes, unless the deed says otherwise. Nevada presumes that water rights, permits and certificates appurtenant to the land are conveyed with it. A water right conveyance must be made by deed, acknowledged, and recorded in every county where the water is used or diverted. A Nevada groundwater right can be forfeited after 5 straight years of nonuse. Ask a water rights attorney or your title company which rights go with your parcel. Source: NRS 111.167, 533.382 and 534.090.

Can I sell my Nevada land if I live in another state?

Yes. Liberty Acres buys land anywhere in the US, so you do not need to live in Nevada to sell to us. We close through a title company and pay back taxes and all closing costs. There are no agents and no commissions.

Do I owe Nevada income tax when I sell my land?

No. Nevada has no state income tax on individuals, so there is no Nevada income tax to withhold at closing. The state constitution bars an income tax on the wages or personal income of natural persons, and it bars any inheritance tax. The real property transfer tax still applies. Federal tax rules and your home state's rules may still apply to any gain, so ask a tax adviser. Source: Nevada Constitution Art. 10, Sec. 1(7) and 1(9).
