DGovernment liens always rank last in Nevada
Explanation
Nevada follows the 'race-notice' recording act principle — a subsequent purchaser or lender who records first and has no notice of prior unrecorded interests takes priority. However, property tax liens have super-priority over all other liens. Among recorded liens, first to record generally wins.
