Frequently Asked Questions
Is a quitclaim deed valid without recording?
While a quitclaim deed may be legally executed, it must be recorded with the County Recorder to be part of the public record and to protect your interest in the property.
Do I need a Declaration of Value form?
Yes. Nevada law requires this form for all property transfers, even for gifts or family transfers. It documents transaction details and is reviewed for property tax purposes.
What happens if my quitclaim deed is rejected?
Recording may be rejected due to missing signatures, addresses, or formatting errors. Always follow Nye County’s document requirements carefully before submission.
How long does recording take?
Processing times may vary, but most mailed-in documents are recorded within a few business days after receipt. If you're mailing your deed, allow extra time for delivery and return.
Do I need to include a return envelope?
Yes. Always include a self-addressed, stamped envelope when submitting by mail so the Recorder’s Office can return your original recorded documents.
