What happens after you send the form, in five steps.
No office visit, no paperwork to figure out. Here is the whole process, from the moment you send your details to the recorded deed landing in your inbox.
1. You send the details
Ten minutes on the intake form, or a phone call. The Elko, Spring Creek or West Wendover property, who is coming off or going on, and how you want it held.
2. You get a price in writing
We read it, ask anything missing, then send a written disclosure, a contract naming the total and one payment link. Nothing is drafted until you say yes.
3. We prepare everything
The deed, the Declaration of Value and the exemption claim, drafted from your recorded deed so it matches the county record.
4. You sign near home
Any notary near you, in Elko, on a trip into town off rotation, or wherever you live. Scan the signed pages back to us.
5. Recorded and returned
Submitted electronically the same day it reaches us, and the recorded copy comes back to you by email.

Transferring property in Elko County — what it takes and what it costs.
To record a deed in Elko County, Nevada, the signed and notarized deed and a completed Declaration of Value are submitted to the county recorder in Elko. As of 2026 the recording fee is $37 per document and the Real Property Transfer Tax is $1.95 per $500 of value, the statewide base rate with no local increment added. TruPoint, a registered Nevada Document Preparation Service in Las Vegas, prepares the deed and the Declaration of Value for $250, adds electronic recording for $50, and submits to Elko County the same day the document is signed.
Elko County covers more ground than nine American states. Its 17,000-odd square miles run from the Idaho line down to the Ruby Mountains and east to the Utah border, and the only Recorder’s counter sits in the city of Elko. West Wendover is a hundred miles east of that counter. Jackpot is a hundred and twenty-five miles north. Wells, Carlin, Spring Creek, Montello and Mountain City each sit their own distance away, and much of the driving is on two-lane highway in weather that closes passes.
That distance is the practical problem with recording an Elko County deed in person. For an owner in West Wendover or Jackpot, handing a document across the counter is most of a day’s round trip, and it is two days if the document comes back rejected. Electronic recording removes the drive entirely.
Elko County accepts electronic recording through approved vendors including Simplifile. The document is scanned, transmitted and indexed without anyone standing at a counter, and the recorded copy comes back electronically.
One further detail is current. The Nevada Tax Commission approved a new Declaration of Value form, and from January 1, 2026 Nevada recorders accept only the new version. Submitting the superseded form risks a processing delay. The form must also be completed so the parcel number matches the deed exactly.
Elko, Spring Creek, Wells and the far corners.
Divorce just finalised
The decree says the Spring Creek house is yours. Until a deed is recorded, the Recorder still shows both names. We prepare the deed that matches what the decree actually orders.
Adding a spouse to title
Newly married and want both names on the Elko home. Often exempt from transfer tax when the exemption is claimed correctly on the Declaration of Value.
Passing land to your children
Parent to child is one of Nevada’s recognised exemptions — and it matters on ranch ground held in the family for generations.
A trust that owns nothing
Someone drafted the trust but nobody recorded the deed. The trust-funding deed is the step that makes the trust actually work.
Mining and energy workers
Careers on the Carlin Trend often mean property held while working elsewhere. Everything is handled remotely, on your schedule and your rotation.
A hundred miles from the counter
You are in West Wendover, Jackpot, Montello or Mountain City. Intake and recording handled remotely, and you sign before a notary near you — no drive, no lost day.
What Elko County charges, on top of our fee.
These are the county’s own charges, collected when your deed records. They are passed through at cost and are never part of our preparation fee. County charges can change — we confirm the exact amount at intake and pass it through at cost.
You can do it yourself. Here is what it costs when it goes wrong.
Nevada does not require an attorney or a document preparer to record a deed. What is worth knowing is what a mistake costs. A deed that is wrong for your situation still records, and one with a detail missing comes back unrecorded weeks later, usually once a buyer, a lender or a family member needs the title to be right.
We stand behind our work. If something in a document we prepared is wrong on our end, we correct it and resubmit it for recording at our cost.
If you would rather talk it through first, book a consultation or call (877) 221-8386. We answer questions about the process, the documents, the Recorder’s requirements and the fees at no charge, whether or not you hire us.
One fee. The county’s charges shown separately.
Elko County sits at the statewide base.
Nevada’s Real Property Transfer Tax has a statewide base of $1.95 per $500 of value, and Elko County adds nothing to it. Clark reaches $2.55 and Washoe and Churchill each sit at $2.05, so the same transfer costs less to record in Elko than in Reno or Las Vegas. Several family and trust transfers fall into categories Nevada recognises as exempt, claimed on the Declaration of Value. An exempt transfer still records and still requires the Declaration. We calculate the tax, or confirm the exemption basis, before you pay anything.
Submitted the same day, recorded copy back fast.
Most deeds are drafted within one business day of your approved quote. We submit electronically the same day your signed copy reaches us, and recording is typically completed within the same day to three business days.

What Elko and Spring Creek owners actually ask, answered plainly.
TruPoint prepares the deed and the Declaration of Value for $250. A parent to child transfer is one of the exemptions Nevada recognises, so in most cases no transfer tax is owed. You still pay the county recording fee of $37. Same-day e-recording is $50, and you sign before any notary near you.
Yes, but the divorce decree alone does not do it. Until a new deed is recorded, the county index still shows both names, and a lender or buyer reads the index rather than the decree. A deed carrying out the decree is usually exempt from transfer tax. $250.
Usually yes. A quitclaim moves whatever interest you hold into both names, which is what most married couples want. Transfers between spouses are among the exemptions Nevada recognises. We explain how a quitclaim differs from a grant, bargain and sale deed so you can direct which one we prepare.
It depends on how title was held. If your parent recorded a deed upon death, the property passes to the named beneficiary once a death of grantor affidavit is recorded. If the property was held in joint tenancy, an affidavit of death of joint tenant clears the record. If neither applies, the estate may need to go through probate. Call and we will tell you which situation you are in.
If the house is in your name alone and there is no deed upon death and no trust holding it, it generally goes through probate before anyone inherits it. A Deed Upon Death is recorded while you are alive, costs $250 to prepare, leaves you in full control, and can be revoked at any time.
No. Nevada does not require an attorney to prepare or record a deed. TruPoint is a registered and bonded Nevada Document Preparation Service and prepares the document at your direction. What we cannot do is tell you which instrument to choose for your situation, because that is legal advice.
The cost is driven by the transfer tax rather than the paperwork. Transfers between spouses, from parent to child, and into your own trust are among the exemptions Nevada recognises, and an exemption claimed correctly on the Declaration of Value can save far more than the preparation fee. Our fee is $250 either way.
Sometimes. A change in the form a business holds property, where the ownership stays identical, is among the exemptions Nevada recognises. A genuine change of ownership is not, and the exemption does not apply where the entity was formed to avoid the tax. An entity deed is $300.
A correction deed fixes an error in a deed that is already recorded, such as a misspelled name, a wrong middle initial or a defective legal description. It is $300 and includes the Declaration of Value. Leaving the error in place can stall a sale or a refinance years later.
Most deeds are drafted within one business day of receiving your facts. Once signed and notarized we submit electronically to Elko County the same day. The county then completes recording on its own schedule, typically the same day to about three business days.
Yes. Intake is by phone or online, you sign before any notary near you, and recording is electronic, so nothing requires you to be at a counter during business hours. Rotation schedules are a routine part of our work here.
Yes. We retrieve the last recorded transfer for $30 so the legal description and the current vesting on your new deed match the county record exactly. Working from an old or remembered description is one of the most common reasons a deed is rejected.
A trust does not hold your house until a deed transfers it into the trust. That funding deed is $250. If you do not have a trust yet, TruPoint prepares living trusts from $695 with the funding deed as a separate item.
A generic form often is not. Nevada deeds must carry the parcel number, the mailing address of the grantee and the address for the tax statement, and must record with a completed Declaration of Value. Most rejected deeds we see were downloaded templates missing one of those. We prepare the document to what the county requires.
A standard Elko County deed is $250 to prepare with the Declaration of Value included ($325 for a deed in a sale), plus $37 to the county, plus $50 if you want same-day e-recording. You pay your local notary directly. Transfer tax of $1.95 per $500 of value applies unless an exemption is claimed. You get the full number in writing before you commit.
Yes. Quinnie is a native English and Vietnamese speaker and handles the entire matter in either language.
