Frequently Asked Questions
What is recording a deed?
Recording a deed is the formal process of submitting it to the County Recorder’s Office so it becomes part of the official public record. Once recorded, the document provides legal notice to the public that ownership of the property has changed. While recorded deeds are generally accessible under public records laws, access may vary depending on local regulations. Recording is a critical step that offers legal protection—especially for buyers—by publicly establishing ownership and helping prevent conflicting claims.
What is the Declaration of Value form and why is it required?
The Declaration of Value declares the deed’s transfer amount and ensures proper tax assessment. It’s required even for zero dollar family transfers.
Where can I get a Declaration of Value form?
You can download the form from our supplement page Download DOV Form Packet (Free). In addition, the Nevada Department of Taxation website or pick one up at your local recorder’s office. Most counties, including Clark County, also provide it at their front counters or on their websites.
Does the deed have to be notarized before I record it?
Yes. Nevada law requires notarization before a deed can be recorded. Need help? Use our online notary service — just tap the “Notarize Online” link at the top of this page to get started.
Can I mail in my deed or do I have to go in person?
You can either mail your signed and notarized deed along with the Declaration of Value and payment, or deliver it in person. Just be sure to include the correct fee and your contact info in case the office needs to reach you.
How much does it cost to record a quitclaim deed in Clark County?
Fees vary; check with the Recorder’s Office before submitting. The base fee is typically around $42 for the first page.
