Quinnie Do reviewing a Storey County deed and Declaration of Value with a property owner

Transferring property in Storey County — what it takes and what it costs.

To record a deed in Storey County, Nevada, the signed and notarized deed and a completed Declaration of Value are submitted to the county recorder in Virginia City. The county recording fee is estimated at $50 and varies by county, and the Real Property Transfer Tax is $1.95 per $500 of value unless an exemption is claimed on the Declaration of Value. TruPoint prepares the deed and the Declaration of Value for $250, arranges remote online notarization through our Las Vegas partner ($25 per signature), and submits the document electronically to the county the same day it is signed.

Storey County is the smallest county in Nevada by area and one of the strangest in shape — a narrow band running from the Comstock down to the Truckee River. Virginia City and Gold Hill sit high on the mountain, Silver City below them, and Lockwood, Mark Twain and Rainbow Bend spread along the river within a few minutes of Sparks. There are no incorporated cities anywhere in it.

The county also holds the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, which has pulled an enormous amount of commercial and industrial land into a county of barely four thousand residents. That mix produces two very different kinds of deed work in the same jurisdiction: historic Comstock houses and river-corridor homes changing hands within families, and entity deeds, deeds of trust and investor transfers on industrial ground.

Storey County accepts electronic recording, and TruPoint submits through Simplifile. The document is scanned, transmitted and indexed without anyone standing at a counter, and the recorded copy comes back electronically. For a Lockwood owner that saves a climb up the mountain; for an out-of-state investor it removes the trip entirely.

Handling it for Mom or Dad? Fill out the form for them, and your parent signs by remote online notarization through our Las Vegas partner, with you there to help.

Divorce just finalised

The decree says the house is yours. Until a deed is recorded, the county index still shows both names, and a lender or buyer reads the index, not the decree.

Adding a spouse to title

Newly married and want both names on the property. Often exempt from transfer tax when the exemption is claimed correctly on the Declaration of Value.

A Comstock house handed down

Parent to child is one of Nevada’s recognised exemptions — and on a Virginia City or Gold Hill property held in the family for generations, claiming it correctly matters.

A trust that owns nothing

Someone drafted the trust but nobody recorded the deed. The funding deed is the step that actually puts the property inside it.

Investors and entity owners

Industrial and commercial ground in this county is usually held through an entity. Deeds into an LLC or corporation, deeds of trust and promissory notes are prepared at the same published pricing.

Lockwood and out-of-state owners

You are minutes from Sparks but the recorder is up the mountain, or you live out of state entirely. Distance makes no difference to the price or the timeline.

County Charges

What Storey County charges, on top of our fee.

Transferring property in Storey County
County recording fee: estimated $50, varies by county
Real Property Transfer Tax: $1.95 per $500 of value, collected on all property transfers unless exempt, with a Declaration of Value required
Declaration of Value: required with every transfer, prepared by us
Parcel maps and records of survey $29 · Subdivision, condominium and planned unit development maps $62
Electronic recording accepted through Simplifile

These are the county’s own charges, collected when your deed records. The county recording fee is estimated at $50 and varies by county. A deed missing the parcel number, the grantee’s mailing address or the tax-statement address comes back unrecorded, which is the delay we exist to prevent.

Why Hire TruPoint

What a wrong deed costs. And how we get yours right the first time.

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.

Transfer Tax

Storey County sits at the statewide base.

Nevada’s Real Property Transfer Tax has a statewide base of $1.95 per $500 of value, and Storey County adds no local increment — unlike Clark County at $2.55, or Washoe and Churchill Counties at $2.05. That is worth knowing if you own on both sides of the county line, because a Lockwood parcel and a Sparks parcel a few miles apart are taxed at different rates. On a $400,000 transfer the Storey County tax is roughly $1,560 if no exemption applies. Nevada recognises a number of exemptions, and several are ordinary family situations: a transfer between spouses or carrying out a divorce decree, a transfer from a parent to a child or a grandparent to a grandchild, a transfer into or out of a trust without consideration with a certificate of trust present, a change in the form a business holds property where the ownership stays identical, a transfer between joint tenants or tenants in common without consideration, and a deed upon death taking effect at death. The exemption is claimed by number on the Declaration of Value with a stated reason. We explain which exemptions exist and what the county asks for; the decision is yours to direct.

Turnaround

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 the county completes recording on its own schedule, typically the same day to about three business days.

Storey County Questions

What Virginia City and Lockwood owners actually ask, answered plainly.

How much does it cost to transfer a house to my child in Storey County?

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. The county recording fee is estimated at $50 and varies by county. Same-day e-recording is $50. You can sign by remote online notarization with our Las Vegas partner’s registered Nevada online notary for $25 per signature.

Can I take my ex-husband or ex-wife off the deed after a divorce?

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.

Is a quitclaim deed enough to add my spouse to the title?

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.

My parent died and the Virginia City house is still in their name. What do I do?

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 explain what each of these documents does.

What happens to my Virginia City house if I die without a deed upon death?

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.

Do I need a lawyer to transfer property in Storey County?

No. 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.

Is transfer tax cheaper in Storey County than in Washoe County?

Yes. Storey County sits at the $1.95 per $500 statewide base while Washoe County adds ten cents, making it $2.05. Because the county line runs through the Truckee corridor, a Lockwood parcel and a Sparks parcel a few miles apart are taxed at different rates. The rate follows where the property sits, not where the owner lives.

Can I put my Lockwood rental into an LLC without paying transfer tax?

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.

Can you fix a name spelled wrong on my deed?

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.

How fast can you get my deed prepared and recorded?

Most deeds are drafted within one business day of receiving your facts. Once signed and notarized we submit electronically to Storey County the same day. The county then completes recording on its own schedule, typically the same day to about three business days.

I live in Lockwood and the courthouse is up the mountain. Do I have to drive to Virginia City?

No. Intake is by phone or online, you sign by remote online notarization with our Las Vegas partner’s registered Nevada online notary ($25 per signature), and the document is submitted electronically. You are minutes from Sparks but the recorder sits up on the Comstock, and none of that matters when the whole matter is handled remotely.

I cannot find my deed. Can you get a copy?

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.

Can you put my Virginia City house into my living trust?

A trust does not hold your house until a deed transfers it into the trust. That funding deed is $250. Transfers into a trust without consideration, with a certificate of trust present, are among the recognised exemptions. If you do not have a trust yet, TruPoint prepares living trusts from $950.

Do you prepare deeds of trust and promissory notes?

Yes. A deed of trust secured by a promissory note is $400, prepared for private lenders, family loans and investors. The deed of trust is recorded with the county and the promissory note is not. When the loan is paid off, the substitution of trustee and full reconveyance is $500.

What will this cost me all in, including county charges?

A standard Storey County deed is $250 to prepare with the Declaration of Value included ($400 for a deed in a sale), plus an estimated $50 county recording fee that varies by county, plus $50 for same-day e-recording. Remote online notarization through our Las Vegas partner is $25 per signature. 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.

Do you speak Vietnamese?

Yes. Quinnie is a native English and Vietnamese speaker and handles the entire matter in either language.
