What's actually for sale

Nevada sells tax deeds. Buyer receives a treasurer's deed and immediate ownership with no post-sale redemption, but a quiet-title action is routinely needed for insurable title. Minimum bid is the greater of delinquent taxes/penalties/interest/costs or assessed value in Washoe County practice; excess proceeds must be claimed within 1 year of deed recording (NRS 361.610).
