Copy-paste error results in Nevada homebuyer getting 87 properties...

RENO, Nev. – A Nevada homebuyer literally got more than she bargained for after ending up with an entire swath of lots in a subdivision in the west-central part of the state – while buying a single-family home.

The buyer was originally purchasing a single-family home in Sparks, Nevada, valued at $594,481. However, the Washoe County (Nevada) Assessor and Washoe County Recorder’s Office had records showing the buyer gained not just the property she was buying but also 84 extra house lots – and two additional parcels – in Toll Brothers’ Stonebrook development just northeast of Reno.

The properties include several home sites that have already been built on and sold. At least 64 of the lots were put under the buyer’s name as of Saturday...

Apparently, all it takes is four keystrokes to accidentally give someone the title to properties worth millions of dollars.

good thing it was noticed now and not when they mailed out the property tax bill. I am sure they would spend a decade fighting that one

Nitpick: She didn't actually get title to the properties, because there were no deeds listing her as the owner.

But the property tax aspect is humorous.
