Statutory liabilities, penalties, and conversion
Section 11.190(3)(a) provides a three-year limitations period for an action upon a liability created by statute, other than a penalty or forfeiture.
Karl v. Quality Loan Service Corp. · filed 2010-12-13(3)(a)
Furthermore, this statutory cause of action is time-barred, because the present action was filed on May 24, 2010, more than three years after the loan was made on November 3, 2006. See Nev.Rev.Stat. § 11.190(3)(a).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 11.190(3)(a) imposes a three-year limitations period on actions based on liabilities created by statute.
Wensley v. First National Bank of Nevada · filed 2012-05-31(3)(a)
Plaintiffs third cause of action for unfair lending practices in violation of Nev. Rev. Stat. § 598D is time-barred. The statute of limitations for “[a]n action upon a liability created by statute” is three years. Nev. Rev. Stat. § 11.190(3)(a). Plaintiff obtained the loan at issue in July 2005, and filed this action more than six years later in September 2011. Plaintiffs claim for unfair lending practices is therefore untimely and must be dismissed without leave to amend.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 11.190(4)(b) imposes a two-year limitations period on an action upon a statute for a penalty or forfeiture, including private TCPA claims arising in Nevada.
Edwards v. Emperor's Garden Restaurant · filed 2006-03-30(4)(b)
One such procedural law, NRS 11.190, provides that an action on “a statute for a penalty or forfeiture” must be commenced within two years. Since the TCPA imposes statutory penalties for injuries caused by its violation, NRS 11.190 imparts a two-year limitation period that displaces the residual four-year, federal statutory period. Accordingly, we evaluate the timeliness of Edwards’ TCPA claim by examining whether he brought it within two years of accrual. Here, the parties do not dispute that, on September 28, 2004, Edwards filed the underlying action for the first time. Nor do they dispute that the single advertisement transmitted by Cenicola-Helvin to Edwards was sent on August 6, 2002, more than two years before Edwards filed his action. Thus, we conclude that the district court did not err in granting Cenicola-Helvin’s motion to dismiss Edwards’ complaint based on NRS 11.190(4)(b)’s two-year limitation period.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 11.190(3)(a) gives three years for liabilities created by statute other than a penalty or forfeiture, subsection (3)(d) gives three years for fraud, and subsection (4)(b) gives two years for actions upon a statute for a penalty.
Torrealba v. Kesmetis · filed 2008-03-06(3)(a), (3)(d), (4)(b)
Although respondents argue that the Torrealbas’ claims are “[a]n action upon a statute for a penalty” and therefore subject to NRS 11.190(4)(b)’s two-year statute of limitations, we disagree. For statute-of-limitations purposes, in determining whether an action is based upon a statute for a penalty or based upon a liability created by statute, a penalty has been described as a ‘ ‘punishment for an offense against the public . . . not incident to the redress of a private wrong.” ... Here, the Torrealbas are suing for losses resulting from alleged notary misconduct, as authorized by statute. As such, their action is properly characterized as one upon a liability created by statute. ... Because the nature of the Torrealbas’ claim is one for fraud, we conclude that the three-year statute of limitations applicable to common-law fraud actions under NRS 11.190(3)(d) applies here. Therefore, the district court erred by applying NRS 11.190(4)(b)’s two-year statute of limitations.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 11.190(3)(a) provides a three-year limitations period for an action based on liability created by statute, subject to applicable tolling.
Lee v. Enterprise Leasing Co.-West, LLC · filed 2014-06-25(3)(a)
The Court finds that a three-year statute of limitations applies to this action. See NRS 11.190(3)(a) (establishing a three-year limitations period for an action on liability created by statute). Defendants do not appear to challenge Plaintiffs’ June 3, 2004 start date for their proposed class of Enterprise renters. See Doc. # 82, p. 16. Because the three-year statute of limitations was tolled for three years pursuant to a tolling agreement between Lee and Enteiprise, the Court finds appropriate Plaintiffs’ June 3, 2004 start date for their proposed class of Enterprise renters.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Law changed since In re Amerco Derivative Litigation (May 12, 2011) later applied § 11.190(2)(c)’s four-year period to wrongful interference with prospective economic advantage. That later Nevada Supreme Court ruling conflicts with this note’s three-year statement for prospective interference; Stalk’s contractual-interference and attorney-malpractice rulings remain.
Section 11.190(3)(c) provides a three-year limitations period for intentional-interference claims involving business interests, subsection (4)(e) is limited to personal-injury and wrongful-death actions, and subsection (3)(d) applies to fiduciary-duty claims outside attorney-client relationships.
Stalk v. Mushkin · filed 2009-01-29(3)(c), (4)(e), and (3)(d)
Because we have determined that business interests are personal property, we conclude that intentional interference with these business interests are actions for taking personal property and not actions for injuries to a person. ... Thus, we conclude that intentional interference with business interests are subject to the three-year statute of limitations set forth in NRS 11.190(3)(c). ... Accordingly, the district court’s conclusion that NRS 11.190(4)(e) applied to Stalk’s breach of fiduciary duty claim was in error. ... Accordingly, we clarify now that claims for breach of fiduciary duty arising out of an attorney-client relationship are legal malpractice claims subject to NRS 11.207(l)’s limitation period, and claims for breach of fiduciary duty based on fiduciary relationships other than attorney-client are akin to fraud claims, subject to the limitation period set forth under NRS 11.190(3)(d).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 11.190(3)(d) supplies a three-year limitations period for breach-of-fiduciary-duty claims, while § 11.190(2)(c) supplies a four-year period for wrongful-interference and unjust-enrichment claims.
Glenbrook Capital Ltd. Partnership v. Dodds · filed 2011-05-12(3)(d), (2)(c)
Appellants’ initial two causes of action alleged a breach of the fiduciary duty. A breach of fiduciary duty is analogous to fraud, and thus, Nevada applies the three-year statute of limitation set forth in NRS 11.190(3)(d). ... Appellants’ claim for wrongful interference with prospective economic advantage is subject to a four-year statute of limitations. See NRS 11.190(2)(c); Orr v. Bank of America, NT & SA, 285 F.3d 764, 781 (9th Cir. 2002) (applying Nevada law and concluding that a claim for “intentional interference with prospective business relations [is] subject to Nevada’s four-year limitations period”). The statute of limitation for an unjust enrichment claim is four years. NRS 11.190(2)(c).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 11.190(3)(a) applies only when the referenced statute creates a liability; it does not govern claims based on statutory provisions that create no liability.

Section 11.190(3)(a) imposes a three-year limitations period on a statutory cause of action when no more specific limitations period applies.
Sheffer v. US Airways, Inc. · filed 2015-06-01(3)(a)
NRS 11.190 provides that “actions other than those for the recovery of real property, unless further limited by specific statute, may only be commenced as' follows.” See id. § 11.190. The statute on its face governs any and all actions under state law, subject only to the exceptions listed therein, neither of which apply to Section 16. Finally, Section 16’s silence on a limitations period does not make NRS 11.190’s generally applicable limitations periods “irreconcilably repugnant” to Section 16. See Thomas, 327 P.3d at 521. The Court therefore rules that the three-year limitations period under NRS 11.190(3)(a) applies to the Section 16 claim. Only damages incurred within the limitations period are recoverable.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Carrington Mortg. Servs., LLC v. Tapestry At Town Ctr. Homeowners Ass'n · filed 2019-03-31(3)(a)
The Court finds that, to the extent Carrington's pleading relates to any alleged violation of a right protected by statute, Carrington's claims carry a three-year statute of limitations pursuant to NRS 11.190(3)(a), which applies to actions upon a liability created by statute. Therefore, Carrington's second cause of action for breach of NRS 116.1113 is entirely foreclosed, and its remaining causes of action for quiet title/declaratory relief, wrongful foreclosure, and injunctive relief are foreclosed only to the extent violations of NRS 116.1113 are alleged. However, to the extent Carrington seeks relief based on alleged unconstitutionality or on equitable grounds, Carrington's claims fall within the four-year catch-all provision at NRS 11.220 and are therefore timely.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 11.190(4)(b) provides a two-year period for actions upon a statute for a penalty or forfeiture, but it does not limit foreclosure of a perpetual garbage lien under NRS 444.520.
WASTE MGMT. OF NEVADA, INC. VS. WEST TAYLOR ST., LLC · filed 2019-06-27(4)(b)
NRS 11.190(4)(b) provides two years for bringing actions "upon a statute for a penalty or forfeiture, where the action is given to a person or the State, or both, except when the statute imposing it prescribes a different limitation." ... Accordingly, we hold that the district court properly concluded that garbage liens are perpetual but erred in applying both the lien perfection requirements set forth in NRS 108.226 and the two-year statute of limitations set forth in NRS 11.190(4)(b) to the foreclosure of those liens under NRS 444.520.

Section 11.190(4)(e) supplies the limitation period for personal-injury actions caused by another's wrongful act or neglect, even when the plaintiff characterizes related duties as contractual obligations under subsection (2)(c).
Walz v. Hood · filed 1971-06-28(4)(e), (2)(c)
Appellant Walz, who allegedly sustained personal injuries *320while a passenger for hire in taxicab owned by respondent Union Cab Company and negligently operated by respondent Hood, has appealed from a Judgment on the Pleadings determining that NRS 11.190(4) (e), which allows only two years to commence “[a]n action to recover damages for injuries to a person or for the death of a person caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another,” bars the three “claims” stated in appellant’s Second Amended Complaint. We affirm the judgment, deciding that although the second and third “claims” allude to duties legally implied from her relationship with respondents, appellant’s claims are not within NRS 11.190 (2)(c), which allows four years to commence “[a]n action upon a contract, obligation or liability not founded upon an instrument in writing.”Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Law changed since This was an attorney-malpractice claim. NRS 11.207 (enacted 1981) now governs such claims: four years after damage or two years after discovery of material facts, whichever is earlier, subject to statutory concealment tolling. General contract periods still govern claims outside that special statute.
Section 11.190(2)(c) supplies a four-year limitations period for an action on a contract, obligation, or liability not founded on a written instrument, while § 11.190(1)(b) supplies a six-year period for breach of a written contract.
Sorenson v. Pavlikowski · filed 1978-07-12(2)(c), (1)(b)
If the theory of recovery rests upon breach of a written contract, the six-year statute of limitations provided in NRS 11.190(l)(b) would begin to run at the moment of breach, and the limitation period has elapsed. Here, however, the cause of action sounds in tort for interference with intangible property interests. In Nevada, since we have no statute of limitations expressly governing actions to redress wrongs to this type intangible property interest, we are relegated to,NRS 11.190(2)(c) which provides a four-year statute of limitations for any “action upon a contract, obligation or liability not founded upon an instrument in writing.” (Emphasis supplied.)Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Law changed since NRS 11.207 (enacted 1981) governs attorney-malpractice claims arising under the later statute, with a four-year damage limit or two-year discovery limit, whichever is earlier, rather than § 11.190(4)(e)’s former general tort period; this opinion concerned a claim that expired before the new statute.

Lawler v. Guild, Hagen & Clark, Ltd. (In Re Lawler) · filed 1987-07-30(4)(e)
During the time in question, the Nevada statute of limitations for attorney malpractice was two years from the time the Plaintiff knew or should have known all facts material to the elements of a cause of action and that damage had been sustained. Nev.Rev.Stat. § 11.190(4)(e) (1951); Jewett v. Patt, 95 Nev. 246, 591 P.2d 1151 (Nev.1979). ... Certainly by that date Lawler knew or should have known all facts material to the elements of a cause of action and the damages sustained.

Law changed since Petersen v. Bruen (May 10, 1990) recognized discovery-rule tolling under § 11.190(4)(e) where supporting facts could not reasonably be found earlier; Reynolds v. Wolff (1996) applied it to a § 1983 claim. Discovery of the legal basis alone, the defect asserted in Neal, still does not postpone accrual.
Section 11.190(4)(e) requires an action to be commenced within two years after accrual and does not provide an analogous delayed-discovery rule for this action.

In Re Amerco Derivative Litigation · filed 2011-05-12(3)(d), (2)(c)
Appellants' initial two causes of action alleged a breach of the fiduciary duty. A breach of fiduciary duty is analogous to fraud, and thus, Nevada applies the three-year statute of limitation set forth in NRS 11.190(3)(d). ... Appellants' claim for wrongful interference with prospective economic advantage is subject to a four-year statute of limitations. See NRS 11.190(2)(c); ... The statute of limitation for an unjust enrichment claim is four years. NRS 11.190(2)(c). ...

Limitations period for written contracts
Section 11.190(1)(b) imposes a six-year limitations period on claims founded upon written contracts.
Walker v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. · filed 2020-04-01(1)(b)
Wells Fargo argues that Plaintiff’s claims are time-barred, and the Court agrees. The course of events for which Plaintiffs seek relief involve consumer credit transactions. The last of these transactions was the disbursement of the funds from the second HELOC, which occurred in July 20051. As Plaintiffs have now filed their complaint over thirteen years after the second HELOC’s funds were disbursed, all of their claims are time-barred. See Nev. Rev.

Under Nevada law, “a strict construction should not be applied by the court in determining what does and what does not constitute a ‘contract in writing’” under Section 11.190(1)(b). ... “[A]ll that is required is that there be a writing which fairly imports the obligation to pay.” ... Here, while the parties dispute which emails and documents controlled their agreement, the evidence produced at summary judgment makes clear that the parties’ agreement was based on written emails and documents containing prices, amounts, and terms. ... Regardless of whether the Nuvo Agreement controls (as CWI argues) or the PO terms control (as Diageo argues) or the parties’ contract was modified by subsequent correspondence (as Diageo also argues), the evidence shows that one or more writings existed that governed various terms of the parties’ agreement, and CWI’s breach of contract claim is therefore not time-barred under Nevada Revised Statute § 11.190(1)(b).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 11.190(1)(b) provides a six-year limitations period for an action on a contract, obligation, or liability founded on a written instrument, measured from when the cause of action accrues.
First Foundation Bank v. Matsumura · filed 2020-08-25(1)(b)
As an initial matter, the Court addresses Defendant’s claim that the statute of limitations has run on Plaintiffs’ breach of contract claim. Defendant argues that the breach of contract claim is barred by the six-years statute of limitations provided in NRS 11.190(1). “Except as otherwise provided in N.R.S. 40.4639, 125B.050 and 217.007, actions other than those for the recovery of real property, unless further limited by specific statute, may only be commenced as follows: 1. Within 6 years: (a) ... (b) An action upon a contract, obligation or liability founded upon an instrument in writing, except those mentioned in the preceding sections of this chapter.” N.R.S. 11.190(1)(b). For statute of limitations calculations, time is computed from the day the cause of action accrued. Clark v. Robison, 944 P.2d 788, 789 (Nev. 1997). The cause of action accrued in this action on July 15, 2014, and this case was removed to federal court on December 12, 2018, well within six years of the date the cause of action accrued. Defendant’s statute of limitations defense is therefore meritless.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Bank of New York Mellon v. SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC · filed 2021-02-25(3)(a)
The Court rejects Defendants’ argument that NRS 11.190(3)(a) controls. That statute provides a three-year limitations period for “[a]n action upon a liability created by statute, other than a penalty or forfeiture.” See NRS 11.190(3)(a). Despite bringing the claim under, inter alia, 28 U.S.C. § 2201, and NRS 40.010, (see Compl. ¶ 46), BNYM’s plea to quiet title does not constitute liability created by statute. See Torrealba v. Kesmetis, 178 P.3d 716, 722 (Nev. 2008) (“The phrase ‘liability created by statute’ means a liability which would not exist but for the statute.”) (quoting Gonzalez v. Pac. Fruit Exp. Co., 99 F. Supp. 1012, 1015 (D. Nev. 1951)). BNYM seeks a declaration concerning the viability of its DOT by invoking the court’s long-standing “inherent equitable powers” to settle title disputes. Shadow Wood HOA v. N.Y. Cmty. Bancorp., 366 P.3d 1105, 1111 (Nev. 2016) (reaffirming that NRS 40.010 “essentially codified the court’s existing equity jurisprudence”) (citing Clay v.

The most restrictive limitations period relevant to Plaintiff’s proposed claims is three years. Plaintiff’s quiet title, declaratory relief, wrongful/statutorily defective foreclosure, and breach of statutory duty causes of action are all based upon a liability created by Nevada’s HOA lien statute and, therefore, carry a three-year limitations period. NRS 11.190(3)(a). Plaintiff’s negligent misrepresentation claim also has a three year limitations period. NRS 11.190(3)(d). However, Plaintiff’s unjust enrichment claim is not based upon a liability created by statute and, consequently, carries a four-year statute of limitations. NRS 11.190(2)(c).

The HOA opens its motion for summary judgment with the sweeping argument that all of the bank’s claims are “time-barred by [the] three-year statute of limitations” in NRS 11.190(3). ... That statute governs actions “upon a liability created by statute, other than a penalty or forfeiture.” ... But the bank’s claim is not an action upon a liability created by statute; it is an equitable action to determine adverse interests in real property, as codified in NRS 40.010. ...

Limitations period for quiet title actions

Deutsche Bank National Trust Company v. SFR Investments Pool 1, LLC · filed 2020-05-11

Birnberg v. Rancho La Costa, Inc. (In Re Reach McClinton & Co.) · filed 1986-07-22
The Nevada statute of limitations would place a three year limit on fraud actions. ... In each of the statutes however, the limitations run from the date that the fraud was discovered. The affidavits of the Plaintiff make it clear the discovery was not made until after the petition in this Court was filed (1982).

Section 11.190(3)(a)’s three-year limit for statutory liabilities does not govern a deed-of-trust holder’s quiet-title counterclaim following an HOA foreclosure sale.
NV West Servicing, LLC Trustee of Copper Pine Trust 12 v. Bank of America, N.A. · filed 2023-07-13(3)(a)
That statute governs actions “upon a liability created by statute, other than a penalty or forfeiture.” NRS § 11.190(3)(a). In a recent case, U.S. Bank, N.A. v. Thunder Props., Inc., 503 P.3d 299 (Nev. 2022),7 the Nevada Supreme Court held that the four-year statute of limitations in NRS § 11.220 applied to foreclosure actions but held that “an HOA foreclosure sale—standing alone—does not sufficiently call the bank’s deed of trust into question to trigger the statute of limitations.” Id. at 307. ... Here, the “notice of disturbed possession” did not occur until November 2018 when NV West filed its quiet-title action in state court. Thus, BANA’s counterclaim, which was brought in February of 2019, falls well within the applicable statute of limitations.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Expiration and renewal of judgments
A judgment expires after six years unless it is renewed or an action upon the judgment is brought; an action upon a judgment is a distinct common-law cause of action.
Nalder v. United Automobile Insurance Co · filed 2020-06-04(1)(a)
The Nevada Supreme Court, answering a certified question from our court, held that Nalder and Lewis’s federal action against UAIC for “breach of its duty to defend is not an action upon Nalder’s state court judgment against Lewis.” Nalder v. United Auto. Ins. Co., No. 70504, 2019 WL 5260073, at *2 (Nev. Sept. 20, 2019). As the court explained, “[a]n ‘action upon a judgment’ as referenced in [Nev. Rev. Stat. §] 11.190(1)(a) is a distinct cause of action under the common law.” Id. Because Nalder and Lewis’s suit against UAIC is not such an action, it does not renew Nalder’s default judgment against Lewis under § 11.190(1)(a).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 11.190(1)(a) makes a judgment valid for six years, with the six-year limitations period restarting upon each renewal.
Miller v. Crisis Collection Management, LLC · filed 2022-10-27(1)(a)
A judgment is valid for six years before it must be renewed. Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 11.190(1)(a); 17.150(2). Based on those statutes, there is ninety-day window every six years in which a creditor may renew a judgment. The six-year limitations period begins after the last “evidence of indebtedness” as to the debt itself. See Davidson v. Davidson, 382 P.3d 880, 885 (Nev. 2016). Thus, each time the judgment is renewed—giving evidence of indebtedness—the six-year clock restarts, and the judgment is valid for six years from the date of that renewal. Put another way, each time a creditor renews a judgment, a clock starts, and that creditor must renew the judgment sometime between day 2100 and day 2190 following each renewal.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Under NRS 11.190(4)(e), actions to recover damages for personal injuries to a person have a two-year statute of limitations. Under NRS 11.190(4)(c), actions for slander, assault, and battery also have a two-year statute of limitations. Nevada recognizes the “discovery rule” of accrual of a cause of action for statute of limitations purposes, meaning that the statute of limitations is tolled until the injured person discovers or reasonably should have discovered facts supporting a cause of action. Bemis v. Estate of Bemis, 114 Nev. 1021, 1024, 967 P.2d 437, 440 (1998). ... Here, Plaintiff’s claims for violation of NRS 41.1359 and battery are time barred and Plaintiff’s claim for defamation is too conclusory. First, Plaintiff’s claims arising under NRS 41.1395 arise from his allegations that Defendant attacked him in 2010. Plaintiff successfully alleges that he is a vulnerable person under the statute because he alleges that he is paraplegic and has a pre-existing traumatic brain injury.
