Claiming surplus funds in Washoe County
Surplus from sales in Washoe County is held by the county office that conducted the sale, typically the clerk, auditor, or treasurer. We confirm the holding office before anything is filed.
Nev. Rev. Stat. § 40.462 governs foreclosure proceeds, including § 107.080 trustee sales, paying sale costs, secured debt, junior interests and then the debtor or successor. Competing claims may be interpleaded, and § 40.462 sets no fixed owner surplus cutoff. The 15-day response after written demand concerns specified junior lienholders, not the owner. Property redemption concerns the real estate separately.
