  • Where are the tax sales held?

    1001 East Ninth Street, Reno, Nevada. Specific room is announced when sale is scheduled.
  • How do I find out what parcels are subject to a certificate sale?

    The available parcels will be posted on the Special Assessment website: www.amgnv.com, at the beginning of the sale month. They will also be published in the Reno Gazette Journal, one time each week, for the three consecutive weeks prior to the sale date.
