What survives this sale

Trustee's deed from tax sale generally extinguishes most private liens; federal tax liens and some assessments can survive. County sells AS IS subject to covenants, easements, and possible encumbrances — full title search mandatory. Desert vacant lots dominate inventory risk (access, utilities, flood).

Tonopah / US-95 county-seat fringe — Government and highway services with thin but stable local demand — not Pahrump liquidity

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — NRS 361.225 fixes the assessment ratio at 35% of taxable value for all property. NRS 361.227 determines taxable value as the full cash value of the land plus the replacement cost of improvements less depreciation, where depreciation runs at 1.5% of replacement cost for each year of adjusted actual age up to a maximum of 50 years. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
