AB 133 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions governing public financial administration. (BDR 20-537)

AB 133 requires counties to set aside 5% of excess proceeds from property sales due to unpaid taxes into a dedicated fund for technology upgrades in county treasurer offices. It revises deadlines for tax notices (changing from "5 p.m." to "close of business") and modifies procedures for property reconveyance, sale notices, and handling of unclaimed funds. The bill also updates fee limits for claim assistance, capping at 10% regardless of whether the property was a primary residence, and replaces hearing requirements with interpleader actions for disputed claims. These changes directly affect county treasurers, taxpayers facing delinquent taxes, and claimants seeking unclaimed property sale proceeds.

MODERATE

This bill updates the operating hours for county treasurer offices to ensure they remain open until at least 5 p.m. It also changes the deadline for issuing certificates regarding delinquent tax properties from a specific time (5 p.m.) to the close of business, providing more flexibility. Additionally, it modifies how excess proceeds from property sales are handled, directing a portion to fund technology improvements for treasurer offices, and adjusts the rules for claiming these funds and the fees associated with recovery efforts.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope of county treasurer obligations by mandating later closing times and altering the timing for critical administrative actions related to tax delinquency.

REQUIREMENT

County treasurer offices must now remain open until at least 5 p.m. on business days, replacing the previous specific hours.

TIMELINE

The deadline for issuing certificates to hold tax-delinquent property changed from 5 p.m. to the close of business on the first Monday in June.

The deadline for municipalities to submit affidavits affecting quitclaim deeds changed from 5 p.m. to the close of business on the third business day before a sale.

FISCAL

A new requirement directs 5% of unclaimed excess proceeds from property sales into a separate account specifically for acquiring or improving technology used by the county treasurer.

ELIGIBILITY

Fee caps for recovering unclaimed funds now apply to any natural person or authorized agent, removing the previous restriction that only applied to former primary residents.

ENFORCEMENT

The process for resolving indeterminate claims to unclaimed funds was simplified by eliminating the mandatory hearing option, requiring only mediation followed by an interpleader action if mediation fails.
