Small Claims Fee Limit in Nevada

In Nevada, the small claims court fee limit, or the maximum amount a person can sue for in small claims, is $10,000. This jurisdictional ceiling is set by Nev. Rev. Stat. § 73.010, which governs all small claims actions in the state. Any claim seeking more than $10,000 must be filed in a higher court, as the small claims division cannot award damages above that amount. The statute provides the exclusive rule on this limit, and the official source at the Nevada Legislature’s website contains the full statutory language. The example below illustrates how the $10,000 cap applies in a typical calculation. To determine whether a specific claim falls within this limit, users can estimate their own result using the calculator.
