Is Burglary Always a Felony? Nevada NRS 205.060 and the 2026 Residential Bail Schedule
Nevada’s burglary statute distinguishes types of premises and conduct. A headline mentioning a residential bail schedule cannot establish the current release amount in an individual case.

Identify the charged burglary category
Ask counsel to review the alleged entry, intended offense, premises type, and cited provision. Burglary is not simply another word for theft, and the absence of completed property removal does not by itself resolve the accusation. Nevada’s statute distinguishes forms of burglary and their treatment. The filed charge and alleged facts matter more than an informal description such as breaking in. Preserve the complaint and amendments before comparing the case with another arrest.
Official reference · NRS205 § 060Verify any claimed schedule against the actual order
Do not rely on an unverified year-specific chart or assume the premises type alone dictates the final amount. The court’s release framework includes appearance and safety considerations, and a current order may contain additional restrictions. Confirm the court, case number, and other custody matters before making a financial commitment. A commercial bond agreement supplies security for an authorized obligation; it does not decide the burglary elements or establish an official countywide residential schedule.

Have counsel identify the charged premises category, alleged conduct and relevant history. Do not infer the sentence or release amount from a generic burglary label.
Reviewing a burglary defense
A key or permission alone does not resolve every burglary allegation. Counsel should assess entry, intent, premises category and the governing statute.
Burglary versus a different charge
If burglary elements are disputed, counsel can assess whether another offense is supported. Restitution or an alleged victim’s request does not automatically reduce or dismiss a felony.
Consequences of a burglary disposition
Ask counsel about the actual conviction’s collateral consequences. Noncitizens should obtain immigration advice before entering a plea rather than assume every burglary charge has the same immigration result.
After a burglary arrest
Preserve the charging papers and custody information. Contact counsel and confirm the current release order before arranging a bond; an agent cannot guarantee discharge or a particular case outcome.
