Overview
Nevada courts require a Court Cost Bond to protect against unpaid litigation costs when a party pursues a civil action and may lack the financial standing to cover court-ordered expenses. This bond guarantees that if the court awards costs against you, those costs will be paid. It is a statewide requirement, not tied to any single county courthouse, and applies across Nevada's civil court system. Securing this bond satisfies the court's financial assurance requirement so your case can move forward.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you have been ordered by a Nevada court to post a Court Cost Bond before proceeding with a civil action, this page is for you. Courts typically require this bond when a plaintiff or petitioner cannot demonstrate sufficient financial resources to cover potential cost awards. You may also need it if you are a non-resident party filing suit in Nevada. The bond is your guarantee to the court that litigation costs won't go unpaid regardless of the outcome.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the opposing party and the court system against the risk that you will be unable to pay court-awarded costs if the judgment goes against you. It does not cover your legal fees or your attorney — it covers the costs the court could order you to pay to the other side. The bond stays in force for the duration of the legal proceeding. Once the case is resolved and all cost obligations are satisfied, the bond's purpose is fulfilled.
When is it Required?
Courts issue the requirement for a Court Cost Bond at the outset of a proceeding, typically when a judge or court clerk determines that a financial guarantee is necessary before the case can advance. The order may come at filing or at an early hearing. You generally cannot proceed with your case until the bond is in place and filed with the court. Acting quickly after receiving the court's order keeps your case on schedule.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a statewide Nevada bond, meaning it is recognized by courts throughout the state — from Clark County to Washoe County and every district in between. The specific court handling your case will be named in your bond documentation. No additional local bond is required beyond this statewide instrument.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the bond amount determined for a Nevada Court Cost Bond?
The court sets the required bond amount based on the specifics of your case — typically an estimate of the potential litigation costs that could be awarded against you. The judge or court clerk will specify the required amount in the court order. You will use that figure when completing your bond application, so have your court order in hand before you start.
What happens to this bond when my case is closed or resolved?
Once the case concludes and all court-ordered costs have been paid or the cost award obligation no longer exists, the bond is no longer active. You should notify your bond provider that the case is closed so the bond can be formally released. Keep your court's discharge or closing order as documentation that the underlying obligation has been satisfied.
Can I get this bond before my court hearing, or do I have to wait until after I am formally ordered to obtain one?
You can — and should — obtain this bond as soon as you know the court will require it. If the court has already indicated in a pre-hearing notice or scheduling order that a Court Cost Bond will be required, you do not need to wait for a formal in-court appointment to begin the bonding process. Having the bond ready before your hearing demonstrates good faith and prevents any delay in your case moving forward.
