After I do lien sale and sell the vehicle at auction, do I owe the original owner or bank any excess money from the sale?

Yes. Nevada law (NRS 108.297) requires you to account for and pay any surplus from the lien sale. After recovering your documented towing, storage, and auction fees, you must pay excess proceeds first to lienholders, then to the vehicle owner. You cannot simply keep all auction proceeds because you obtained clean title through VP-147. This is one of the most misunderstood aspects of Nevada lien sales.

A shocked Reddit discussion illustrates the confusion: "I always thought the right thing would be for the tow vendor to pay any excess from the sale over their storage costs to the lienholder but they take possession of the whole vehicle?" The answer: Taking possession for lien sale is legal, but keeping surplus proceeds beyond documented costs is illegal conversion of property.

πŸ“‹ Nevada Surplus Distribution Hierarchy (NRS 108.297):

  1. First priority - Your documented costs: Towing charges, storage fees at your posted daily rate, administrative costs for title search and certified mail, auction fees
  2. Second priority - Lienholders on DMV record: If auction sale exceeds your costs, remaining funds go to the first lienholder (bank) up to the amount of their lien. If surplus still remains, it goes to second lienholder if applicable
  3. Third priority - Original owner: Any remaining surplus after lienholder(s) are paid must be sent to the registered owner at their DMV-registered address via certified mail
  4. Unclaimed surplus: If owner doesn't respond to surplus notification within required time (typically 30-60 days), consult legal counsel about escheat to the state

⚠️ Real-World Example of Surplus Calculation:

  • Vehicle sells at Copart for $8,500
  • Your documented costs: Towing $250, storage 45 days at $30/day = $1,350, auction fees $400 = $2,000 total
  • Remaining: $6,500 surplus
  • Lienholder on DMV record: Bank with $12,000 lien = Bank gets entire $6,500
  • Nothing left for owner (their debt to bank reduced by $6,500)

Different scenario - No lien on record:

  • Same $8,500 sale price, same $2,000 costs
  • No lienholder on DMV title
  • You must send $6,500 to the registered owner with accounting of costs and surplus calculation

πŸ’‘ Why This Matters for VP-147 Compliance: When you sign your notarized VP-147 affidavit, you're swearing under oath that you followed Nevada's lien sale procedures. Part of those procedures is accounting for surplus. If the owner later discovers you kept $5,000 in surplus that legally belonged to them or their lender, you face: (1) civil lawsuit for conversion, (2) potential perjury charges for false VP-147 affidavit, (3) loss of your tow operator license, (4) criminal charges for theft by conversion.

🏒 Best Practice for Tow Operators: Create a standard surplus calculation worksheet for every lien sale. Document: (1) Auction gross proceeds, (2) Itemized costs (towing, storage with daily rate and number of days, title search, certified mail, auction fees), (3) Net surplus calculation, (4) Lienholder payment if applicable with proof of payment, (5) Owner surplus payment with certified mail proof of delivery. Keep these records for 3-5 years. When we notarize VP-147 forms at Sun City Aliante or other Clark County tow yards, we can review your surplus calculation to ensure it's properly documented before you sign under oath.

Can I submit the DLD-68 form online or through email?

No. The Nevada DMV Financial Responsibility Unit does not accept digital, scanned, or emailed DLD-68 affidavits. You must sign the form with wet-ink in front of a Nevada notary public, then mail or hand-deliver the original notarized document to DMV in Carson City. Remote online notarization (RON) is not accepted for DLD-68 forms in 2025.

Reddit threads frequently show drivers frustrated by this requirement, especially those trying to meet tight suspension deadlines. Nevada statutes mandate physical notarial certificates with raised seals for all DMV affidavits. Digital signatures, PDF submissions, and faxed copies are rejected outright. This is why same-day mobile notary service has become the standard solution for DLD-68 filers facing time-sensitive license suspension warnings.

πŸ“¬ Accepted Submission Methods:

  • U.S. Mail (certified recommended): Mail notarized original to DMV Financial Responsibility Unit, 555 Wright Way, Carson City, NV 89711
  • In-Person Delivery: Hand-deliver to any Nevada DMV office; staff will forward to Financial Responsibility Unit
  • Courier Service: FedEx, UPS, or other trackable delivery (keep proof of mailing)

⚠️ Suspension Timeline: Most drivers receive suspension warning letters with 10-15 business days to respond. Mobile notaries serving Boulder City, Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas ensure your DLD-68 is properly notarized and mailed before the deadline, with notary-sealed customer copies for your records.
