Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 40.215–40.425 § 40.425
Notice of execution on writ of restitution.
Operative Text
1. Execution on the writ of restitution may occur only if the sheriff serves the judgment debtor with notice of the execution and a copy of the writ in the manner described in NRS 21.076. The notice must describe the types of property exempt from execution and explain the procedure for claiming those exemptions. The clerk of the court shall attach the notice to the writ at the time the writ is issued. 2. The notice required pursuant to subsection 1 must be in the form and served in the manner provided for execution on judgments pursuant to NRS 21.075 and 21.076. DEBT SECURED BY MORTGAGE OR OTHER LIEN General Provisions
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 40.215–40.425, a writ of restitution — the court order that authorizes physical removal of an occupant — cannot be carried out unless the sheriff first serves the judgment debtor with formal notice of the execution and a copy of the writ itself. That notice must identify categories of property that are legally exempt from execution and explain how the debtor can assert those exemptions. The court clerk is responsible for attaching the required notice to the writ at the moment it is issued, and the form and service method must follow the procedures set out in NRS 21.075 and 21.076.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 40.215–40.425, a compliant landlord who has obtained a writ of restitution understands that actual execution of that writ is not automatic — it depends on the sheriff completing the required notice and service steps before any lockout or removal can proceed. Property managers generally coordinate with the court and the sheriff's office to confirm that the writ has been properly issued with the clerk's attached notice before scheduling any move-out or property-access activity. Attempting to enforce a writ before those procedural prerequisites are satisfied can expose the process to legal challenge, so operators typically verify that all statutory steps under NRS 21.075 and 21.076 have been completed.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 40.215–40.425 gives tenants facing eviction a procedural protection: the sheriff must personally serve a notice — one that lists exempt property and explains how to claim exemptions — along with a copy of the writ before any physical execution can take place. If a tenant believes they were removed without receiving the required notice, or that the notice did not include the legally required information about exemptions, that procedural defect may be raised as a challenge in court. Tenants in this situation may wish to contact a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand the options available under NRS 21.075 and 21.076.
