Serves the incorporated city of Reno and surrounding Reno Township areas. Addresses on the Sparks city limits boundary must be parcel-confirmed before assuming Reno Township jurisdiction.
Civil claims under $15,000 file here. Small claims under $10,000 have separate procedures. Claims above $15,000 must be filed in Washoe County District Court — wrong court = dismissed filing.
High-volume eviction docket. 3-day, 7-day, and 30-day notices must be properly served before any unlawful detainer filing is accepted. Defective service voids the proceeding.
Proof of service must include: server identity, defendant identity and description, exact date/time, full address, method of service (personal or substitute), and certification under penalty of perjury.
University of Nevada Reno generates significant tenant turnover and resulting small claims and eviction volume. Student addresses require confirmation of current residency before service attempt.
