Clark County has 11 township justice courts: Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, Laughlin, Mesquite, Moapa, Moapa Valley, Bunkerville, Goodsprings, and Searchlight. Which one hears a small claims case is set by venue under NRS 73.010(2) - generally the township where the defendant resides, does business, or is employed, or (for injury/property claims or claims on a contract with a place of performance) the township where the injury occurred or the obligation was to be performed. There is no single central filing office for the county.
Is Clark County the right court for your case?
Which court may hear a small claims case turns on where the dispute belongs, not on where it is convenient for you to go. It is normally:
- Where the defendant lives — or, for a business, where it has its place of business.
- Where the events you are suing about actually happened.
- Where a contract was to be performed, where the claim is about an agreement.

We cannot advise you which venue to choose. Where two courts would both be proper, either is a valid filing.
Going to Las Vegas Justice Court in person
If you are filing at the counter rather than by mail or online, this is the shape of the visit.
- Go during filing hours, not court hours. The counter is open 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday-Thursday; closed Fridays and court holidays. Clerks stop accepting new filings before closing, so arriving in the last half hour is how people end up coming back.
- Bring the completed claim form and your copies. Bring a copy for the court, one for each defendant, and one for yourself.
- Bring the fee, in a form this clerk takes. The filing fee is $66–$196. Las Vegas Justice Court accepts 5 forms of payment — cash is not always one of them, and cards are not always one either.
- Know the defendant's exact legal name and address. The clerk will not look it up for you, and a judgment against a trade name that is not the legal entity is difficult to collect on afterwards.
- Leave with your court date. Clark County sets the first court date at filing, so you leave the counter knowing when to come back.
Court staff can explain procedure and check a form is complete. They cannot tell you what to write in your claim, or whether to bring it at all.
Ways to file without standing in line
Las Vegas Justice Court accepts a filing:
- In person at the Las Vegas Justice Court (or the applicable Clark County township justice court with proper venue)
- Electronically via the Odyssey eFileNV portal - a self-represented plaintiff filing in Las Vegas Justice Court must provide a working email address because the court electronically files all documents
Free help at the courthouse
Clark County runs a self-help center for people filing without a lawyer. It can:
- Point you at the right form for your case type
- Check a form is complete before you hand it in
- The Civil Law Self-Help Center (operated inside the Regional Justice Center and linked from the official Nevada Judiciary site, nvcourts.gov) provides small claims instructions and the township-specific Small Claims Complaint, Notice of Appeal, and related forms used at Clark County's justice courts. Court and self-help staff cannot give legal advice.
Court staff can explain procedure. They cannot tell you what to write in your claim, or whether you should file at all — that is the line they are not allowed to cross, and it is the part most people actually need.
