Frequently Asked Questions
Is a quitclaim deed valid without recording?
A quitclaim deed may be legally executed, but it must be recorded with the Storey County Recorder to be part of the public record and protect your ownership rights.
Do I need a Declaration of Value form?
Yes. All Nevada counties, including Storey, require this form for property transfers—even those with no money exchanged.
What happens if my quitclaim deed is rejected?
Rejection can occur if your deed is missing signatures, the APN, or has formatting errors. Carefully follow all Storey County requirements.
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.
