How Nevada Counties and Independent City and 5-Digit FIPS Codes Work

In U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line geography, Nevada (NV) is assigned the 2-digit state Federal Information Processing Series (FIPS) code 32 and covers 109,860 square miles of land area across 17 counties and independent city in the Pacific Time (PT); West Wendover is in Mountain Time (MT) zone (with Carson City as the state capital). Every county or independent city in the directory above carries a unique 5-digit GEOID formed by combining state prefix 32 with a 3-digit county code (ranging alphabetically from Carson City at 32510 to White Pine County at 32033).

Because U.S. Postal Service 5-digit ZIP Codes follow mail carrier delivery routes rather than local government borders, many postal addresses in Nevada carry a neighboring city’s mailing name or sit inside a multi-county ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA). Property tax assessments, deed recording, circuit and county court venue, voter registration precincts, sheriff jurisdiction, and county sales tax rates in Nevada are determined by the legal county or independent city boundary shown on the map above rather than the postal city name on an envelope.

Land area figures in square miles and internal centroid coordinates (INTPTLAT, INTPTLON) come directly from the U.S. Census Bureau’s current TIGERweb State_County benchmark, while 16 administrative seats and 17 verified official government websites are cross-referenced from Wikidata (CC0). Need a clean outline worksheet without county labels, or want to verify which Nevada county or independent city a specific home or business address sits in? Open the Blank Map of Nevada, run a street-segment check on Address to County Lookup, check multi-county postal overlap on ZIP Code to County Lookup, or browse all 50 states on the National U.S. County Map.
