Find out what is owed against a Nevada property — before you buy it.
No escrow officer is running title on a private sale, a family transfer, seller financing or an auction buy. Nobody checks unless you do. We pull the recorded deeds of trust and other liens recorded against any Nevada parcel and return a clean report for $95, most the same business day. HOA liens are in the separate $95 HOA Lien & Contact Report.
What the report covers
- Recorded deeds of trust and mortgages
- Other liens recorded against the parcel
- Assignments, releases and subordinations
- Notices of default and foreclosure status
- Old loans paid but never reconveyed
- Delivered as a PDF, usually the same business day
Liens follow the property, not the person who owed the money.
A Nevada property lien search pulls the recorded claims for money attached to a parcel — deeds of trust and other liens recorded against the parcel — from the county where the property sits. HOA liens are not included; they are covered by the separate $95 HOA Lien & Contact Report. TruPoint runs it on any property in Nevada’s 17 recording jurisdictions and returns a clean report for $95, most delivered the same business day. It is a compilation of public records and it is not title insurance.
The reason it matters is simple and expensive. Most recorded liens stay attached to the property, not to the person who ran up the debt. If you buy a house with an unreleased deed of trust or an unpaid tax lien on it, that claim is still there the morning after closing, and it is now your problem to clear.
In a normal sale an escrow officer runs title and catches it. In a private sale, a family transfer, a seller-financed deal or an auction purchase, there is no escrow officer. Nobody is checking. The buyer either checks or finds out later.
An HOA lien here can wipe out a first mortgage.
Nevada gives homeowners associations a superpriority lien. Under Nevada law, part of an HOA lien for unpaid assessments sits ahead of a first deed of trust. The association can foreclose non-judicially on that portion, and the sale can extinguish the first mortgage entirely. The Nevada Supreme Court has confirmed it, and no other state gives an HOA lien that power.
Clark County is full of planned communities, so HOA foreclosure sales are a real part of the Las Vegas market. If you are bidding at one, or lending privately against a home inside an association, the assessment position is the first thing to establish — and it is not on the listing. It is not in this lien report either: order the separate $95 HOA Lien & Contact Report for recorded HOA liens and the association’s contact.
Nevada also forecloses differently. Lenders use deeds of trust rather than mortgages and foreclose non-judicially through a trustee’s sale, with a 35-day cure period after the Notice of Default and 20 days’ notice of sale. There is no right of redemption after the sale. And Nevada is a race-notice state, so the first party to record in good faith takes priority.
All of which is why an unreleased deed of trust, a missing reconveyance or an unpaid assessment is worth finding before money moves rather than after.
A complete report has to catch both.
Because this is a compilation of recorded data rather than a certified title examination, some name-indexed items may not appear, and the absence of a lien in a report is not a guarantee that none exists.
Anyone buying or lending without escrow doing the checking.
Buying privately from an owner
No agent, no escrow, no title officer. The seller says it is clear. This is how you find out whether that is true before you hand over money.
Bidding at an HOA or trustee sale
Nevada is the state where an HOA lien can extinguish a first deed of trust. Check the foreclosure status here and the assessment position with the separate $95 HOA Lien & Contact Report before the auction, not after.
Seller financing a sale
If you are carrying the note, you are the lender. Confirm what already sits ahead of your deed of trust before you sign.
Lending privately or buying a note
Verify the recorded deeds of trust, the reconveyances and the priority position before your money is secured against the parcel.
Investors screening deals
Run the liens before you make an offer so you can price the payoff, negotiate it, or walk away before spending on inspections.
Families transferring property
Before deeding a home between relatives, find out what is recorded against it. A transfer does not clear a lien — it moves the property with the lien still on it.

This report is uninsured
It is an informational compilation of public records. It is not title insurance, not a preliminary title report, and not a title examination performed by a licensed title company. No policy is issued and no coverage attaches.
If you are buying, lending against, insuring or litigating over a property, an uninsured report is not a substitute for insured title. A licensed Nevada title company can issue a preliminary report, a policy or a litigation guarantee, and a Nevada attorney can advise on your situation. TruPoint compiles the records. We do not interpret them and we do not opine on the condition of title.
Because it is a compilation of recorded data rather than a certified title examination, some name-indexed items may not appear, and the absence of a lien in a report is not a guarantee that none exists.
Property reports are a public-records research service, separate from TruPoint’s document preparation work. Our Nevada Document Preparation Service registration does not apply to them.
Searching Nevada liens, answered plainly.
Recorded liens sit in the county records for the parcel where the property is located. TruPoint pulls them from any of Nevada’s 17 recording jurisdictions and returns a report showing deeds of trust, other liens recorded against the parcel and foreclosure status, for $95, usually the same business day. HOA liens are not included; order the separate $95 HOA Lien & Contact Report for them.
Most recorded liens attach to the property rather than to the person who owed the money, so they survive a sale and become the new owner’s problem to clear. That is the reason to search before the money moves, particularly where no escrow officer is running title.
Under Nevada law, a portion of a Nevada HOA lien for unpaid assessments sits ahead of a first deed of trust, and an association foreclosure can extinguish the first mortgage entirely. No other state gives an HOA lien that power. In Clark County, where planned communities are everywhere, it is the first thing to check before bidding or lending. HOA liens are not included in this $95 lien report; order the separate $95 HOA Lien & Contact Report for recorded HOA liens and the association’s contact.
It tells you what is recorded, which is more than most private buyers ever find out. It is not title insurance and it does not protect you if something is wrong. For a purchase where you want protection rather than information, a licensed Nevada title company issues insured title, and this report is not a substitute for it.
Voluntary liens are debts the owner agreed to and secured against the property — deeds of trust and mortgages. Involuntary liens are filed without consent and recorded against the parcel. This report covers liens recorded against the property; it does not include HOA liens, which are in the separate $95 HOA Lien & Contact Report, or judgments, tax liens or bankruptcies filed against an owner by name.
No. A report is a compilation of recorded data, not a certified title examination. Some name-indexed items may not appear, and the absence of a lien in a report is not a guarantee that none exists. We would rather say that plainly than let you assume otherwise.
The property address or the assessor’s parcel number, and the county. Send the owner name as well if you can, because some involuntary liens are indexed against the name rather than the parcel and we would otherwise miss them.
Most lien reports come back the same business day, delivered as a PDF by email. If an auction or a closing deadline is driving the timing, say so when you order and we will tell you plainly whether we can meet it.
It usually means the lender never recorded a reconveyance releasing the deed of trust. The debt is gone but the record still shows the lien, and it will keep showing until a release is recorded. That is filed by the lienholder or the trustee named on the deed of trust, not fixed by a new deed.
No, and be wary of anyone who says they can. A recorded lien clears when the debt is paid and the lienholder records a release or reconveyance. Our report tells you it is there so you can deal with it. If the fix is a deed rather than a lien release, that is different and we can prepare it.
The $95 report covers liens recorded against the property. The $175 Full Owner and Lien Report adds the property and vesting profile. The $375 Expanded Title Search adds the recorded ownership history, property tax status and every indexed deed copy up to 30 years back, in 10 of the 17 Nevada counties. You choose the report that fits what you need.
All 17 recording jurisdictions — the 16 counties plus Carson City. That includes Clark and Washoe as well as Elko, Humboldt, Nye, Lander, Eureka, Esmeralda and the rest of the rural recorders.
Yes, and neither the price nor the turnaround changes. There is no notary and nothing to mail. Send the address or parcel number and the report comes back by email.
It is a focused one. A lien search looks at what is recorded as owed against the property. A full title search also traces the ownership history and the vesting. Neither is title insurance, and neither is a preliminary title report. If you want the complete picture in one document, that is the $375 Expanded Title Search.
Often yes. TruPoint is a registered Nevada Document Preparation Service, so where the issue is a misspelled name, a deceased owner still on title or a home that never made it into a trust, the same office can prepare and record the document that corrects it at a published fee.
Yes. Quinnie Do is a native English and Vietnamese speaker and handles the whole matter in either language.
A lien needs a release. A deed problem needs a deed.
