Nevada small claims court handles disputes under $10,000 in the justice court system. The defendant must be served before the hearing date — if service is not complete and documented, the court cannot proceed. Small claims in Nevada require the same proof standards as larger civil matters.
Nevada Justice Court small claims jurisdiction is capped at $10,000. Claims above $10,000 but under $15,000 proceed as regular civil matters in justice court. Claims above $15,000 go to District Court.
The small claims hearing date is set at filing. The defendant must be served and proof filed with the court before that date. No service = no hearing = case continued.
In Clark County, small claims are filed in the correct township justice court — Las Vegas, Henderson, or North Las Vegas. Affidavit must be formatted for the specific township.
Personal service or substitute service per NRCP Rule 4. Nevada also allows service by certified mail in some small claims situations, but personal service creates the most defensible record.
