A variance asks the board to bend the rule for your specific lot due to hardship; it is the narrowest and fastest path. A special-use permit (sometimes called conditional-use) accepts the underlying zoning but adds conditions for a specific use. A full rezone changes the district itself and requires the broadest political process.
Filing the wrong instrument is the most common cause of months-long delays. The right instrument can shorten an entitlements timeline by 60-90 days versus the wrong one.
A 1031 like-kind exchange has three hard clocks: the 45-day identification window, the 180-day close window, and the same-taxpayer rule (the entity selling and buying must match). Missing any one of these collapses the deferral, exposing the full gain to tax. The most-missed is the same-taxpayer rule when LLCs change membership mid-exchange.
The tax exposure on a busted exchange is the full long-term capital gain plus depreciation recapture — often 25-30% of the basis difference. Process discipline is the only protection.
Some NV jurisdictions give the foreclosed owner a statutory right to redeem the property within a window after the sale (often 6-12 months). Buyers at foreclosure auctions in those jurisdictions take title subject to redemption — meaning the prior owner can reclaim the property by paying the auction price plus interest. Title insurance does not cover this exposure.
A redeemed property is returned to the prior owner, not refunded with the original purchase price plus appreciation. Auction buyers in redemption-rights states need to hold capital reserves for the entire window.
