Notice of sale under execution.
1. Before the sale of property on execution, notice of the sale, in addition to the notice required pursuant to NRS 21.075 and 21.076, must be given as follows:
(a) In cases of perishable property, by posting written notice of the time and place of sale in three public places at the township or city where the sale is to take place, for such a time as may be reasonable, considering the character and condition of the property.
(b) In case of other personal property, by posting a similar notice in three public places of the township or city where the sale is to take place, not less than 5 nor more than 10 days before the sale, and, in case of sale on execution issuing out of a district court, by the publication of a copy of the notice in a newspaper, if there is one in the county, at least twice, the first publication being not less than 10 days before the date of the sale.
(c) In case of real property, by:
(1) Personal service upon each judgment debtor or by registered mail to the last known address of each judgment debtor;
(2) Posting a similar notice particularly describing the property, for 20 days successively, in three public places of the township or city where the property is situated and where the property is to be sold; and
(3) Publishing a copy of the notice three times, once each week, for 3 successive weeks, in a newspaper, if there is one in the county. The cost of publication must not exceed the rate for legal advertising as provided in NRS 238.070. If the newspaper authorized by this section to publish the notice of sale neglects or refuses from any cause to make the publication, then the posting of notices as provided in this section shall be deemed sufficient notice. Notice of the sale of property on execution upon a judgment for any sum less than $500, exclusive of costs, must be given only by posting in three public places in the county, one of which must be the courthouse.
2. The sheriff shall not conduct a sale of the property on execution or deliver the judgment debtor’s property to the judgment creditor if the judgment debtor has not been properly notified as required in this section and NRS 21.075 and 21.076.
