Quinnie Do reviewing a Washoe County deed with a Reno property owner before recording

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

To record a deed in Washoe County, Nevada, the signed and notarized deed and a completed Declaration of Value are submitted to the Washoe County Recorder in Reno. As of 2026 the county’s general document recording fee is an estimated $50 (varies by county) and the Real Property Transfer Tax is $2.05 per $500 of value, being the $1.95 state rate plus a Washoe County increment. TruPoint prepares the deed and the Declaration of Value for $250, adds electronic recording for $50, and submits to the county the same day the document is signed. Washoe County typically completes recording within the same day to three business days.

The deed must also carry the assessor’s parcel number, the mailing address of the grantee, and the name and address for the tax statement. Every affected parcel number must be listed on the Declaration of Value. Miss any of these and the recorder returns the document unrecorded.

Where a transfer involves no sale and no exemption applies, Washoe County guidance states the value used is the Assessor’s taxable total or the last sale price within the previous five years, whichever is greater. That is the detail people most often get wrong when completing the form themselves, and it is the reason documents come back.

Divorce just finalised

The decree says the Reno house is yours. Until a deed is recorded, the county 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 home. Often exempt from transfer tax when the exemption is claimed correctly on the Declaration of Value.

Passing it to your children

Parent to child is one of Nevada’s recognised exemptions. Done during life, or through a Deed Upon Death that avoids probate entirely.

A trust that owns nothing

An attorney drafted your trust but nobody deeded the house into it. The trust-funding deed is the step that makes the trust actually work.

Rental into an LLC

Separating a Reno or Sparks rental from your personal assets. Whether transfer tax applies depends on whether ownership genuinely changed.

Transfer Tax

Washoe sits between Clark and the rest.

Nevada’s Real Property Transfer Tax has a statewide base of $1.95 per $500 of value. Washoe County adds a county increment for a total of $2.05, while Clark County reaches $2.55 and the remaining jurisdictions use the base rate. 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.

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 Washoe County typically completes recording within the same day to three business days.

Washoe County Questions

What Reno and Sparks owners actually ask, answered plainly.

How much does it cost to transfer a house to my child in Washoe 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 Reno 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 Reno 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 Washoe 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.

What is the cheapest way to transfer property to family in Nevada?

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.

Can I put my Sparks 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 Washoe County the same day. The county then completes recording on its own schedule, typically the same day to about three business days.

I live out of state and own a Reno property. Can you handle everything?

Yes. Intake, document review and electronic recording are all handled remotely. You sign by remote online notarization with our Las Vegas partner’s registered Nevada online notary for $25 per signature. Out-of-state owners are a routine part of our Washoe County work and pay exactly the same $250.

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 Reno 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. If you do not have a trust yet, TruPoint prepares living trusts from $950 with the funding deed as a separate item.

What happens if my deed gets rejected by the county?

A rejected deed usually comes back weeks later, often after a closing or refinance date has passed, and the transfer has to start over. TruPoint prepares your deed and the Declaration of Value to what the county requires and submits it electronically the same day, from $250.

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

A standard Washoe 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 $2.05 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.
