Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 108 - Statutory Liens
Here’s a breakdown of Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 108 — Statutory Liens, which governs liens for vehicle storage and related matters:
🔹 1. General Structure
NAC Chapter 108 focuses on liens arising from storage, maintenance, repair, or keeping of vehicles, mobile homes, manufactured homes, RVs, trailers, and aircraft. (leg.state.nv.us, nevada.public.law)
It aligns with related sections in the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS Chapter 108) covering broader lien categories (e.g., mechanics' liens, hospital liens, vessel liens) (law.justia.com).
🔹 2. NAC § 108.100–108.130: Vehicle-Related Liens
§ 108.110 – Lien sale of vehicle: Duties upon sale
When a vehicle is sold under lien (except by licensed wreckers), the lienholder must:
Collect from the buyer:
State title certificate fee (per NRS 482.429),
Fees for lien sale affidavit,
Applicable sales taxes (per NRS 372.105–.180).
Provide the buyer with a lien-sale registration certificate for use during vehicle registration.
Within 30 days, submit to the DMV:
The completed lien sale affidavit,
A copy of the original lien notice (per NRS 108.272),
The fees/taxes collected, and
Any additional required documentation. (law.cornell.edu)
The lien sale affidavit and registration certificate must be on DMV-approved forms and include:
Vehicle description (e.g., extent of damage, type),
Lienholder’s and buyer’s details,
Names/addresses of any secured parties. (law.cornell.edu, ballardspahr.com)
(Eff. Dec 29, 2005; R116-05)
🔹 3. Coordination with NRS Chapter 108
NAC § 108.110 references statutory provisions in NRS 108.272 (notice of lien) and NRS 482.429 (title fees) (law.cornell.edu).
The NAC rules ensure administrative and procedural consistency with Nevada Revised Statutes.
