Serving papers
Carson City is not a county — it is an independent consolidated municipality with its own court system. Service here routes to First Judicial District Court or Carson City Justice Court based on dollar amount. Government entity service requires specific NRS protocols that differ from private party service.
Assignment basics
Nothing here guarantees a service outcome; results depend on the defendant, the address, and the court's requirements.
Claim amount determines court — under $15,000 goes to Carson City Justice Court, above $15,000 goes to First Judicial District Court. Family matters always go to District Court regardless of amount.
Individual, private business entity, or state government agency. Government agencies served per NRS 41.031 — Attorney General's Office or designated agent.
