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

Recording a deed 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 $43 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 a flat $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.

Who We Help In Washoe County

Reno, Sparks, Incline Village and the whole county.

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.

Fees and office hours are set by the county and can change. We confirm the exact amount with the recorder at intake and pass it through at cost. Washoe County also runs a free Recording Notification Service that emails property owners whenever a document is recorded against their property — worth signing up for whether or not you work with us.

Doing It Yourself vs. TruPoint

You can record it yourself. Here is where the county stops.

Nevada does not require an attorney or a document preparer to record a deed. What is worth knowing is where the county stops. Nevada recorders record documents — they do not prepare them, do not tell you which deed fits your situation, and do not notarize signatures. Everything between deciding what you want and having a document ready to record is on you.

Choosing the instrument — on your own, from general researchWe explain each option; you direct

Notarization — arranged separately by youArranged, remote for Reno-area clients
Recording — a drive to East Ninth Street, or mail it and waitSubmitted electronically the same day
If the county rejects it — returned to you to diagnose and resubmitWe handle the rejection and resubmit

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 — there is no charge for the question.

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.

How It Works

Submitted the same day, recorded document back fast.

Intake

Complete the intake form or call. We send a written disclosure, a written contract naming the total price, and one payment link before any drafting starts.

Prepare

We draft the deed, complete the Declaration of Value with every affected parcel, confirm the tax-mailing address, settle the exemption question, and arrange notarization.

Record same day

We submit electronically to the Washoe County Recorder the same day it is signed. The county typically completes recording within the same day to three business days.

Washoe County Questions

What Reno owners actually ask, answered plainly.

How much does it cost to record a deed in Washoe County?

TruPoint, a registered Nevada Document Preparation Service in Las Vegas, prepares a standard Washoe County deed for a flat $250, including the Declaration of Value. Same-day electronic recording is $50 and notarization is $15 for the first signature and $7 for each additional signature by the same signer. Washoe County charges its own general document recording fee of $43, and the Real Property Transfer Tax is $2.05 per $500 of value unless an exemption applies.

How long does it take to record a deed in Reno?

TruPoint submits the deed electronically to the Washoe County Recorder the same day it is signed and notarized. Washoe County typically completes recording within the same day to three business days. The completion window belongs to the county and varies with volume.

Where is the Washoe County Recorder?

The Washoe County Recorder, Kalie M. Work, is at 1001 E. Ninth Street, Building A, Reno, NV 89512, reachable at (775) 328-3660 or record@washoecounty.gov. Transfer-tax questions go to (775) 328-3661. If TruPoint prepares and e-records your document, you do not need to go there.

What is the transfer tax rate in Washoe County?

$2.05 per $500 of value, being Nevada’s $1.95 statewide base plus a Washoe County increment. Clark County is higher at $2.55, and the remaining Nevada jurisdictions use the $1.95 base rate. The tax is collected by the county recorder at recording.

What value do I put on the Declaration of Value if there is no sale?

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. Getting this wrong is a common reason documents are returned. It is completed as part of our flat fee.

Will the Washoe County Recorder help me fill out my deed?

No. Nevada recorders record documents; they do not prepare them, do not tell you which instrument fits your situation, and do not notarize signatures. That is the gap we fill.

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

No. Nevada does not require an attorney to prepare or record a deed. A registered Document Preparation Service prepares the document at your direction. What we cannot do is choose the instrument for you or interpret your situation — that is legal advice.

Can you help if I live in California but own property in Incline Village?

Yes. A Nevada deed records in the county where the property sits, not where the owner lives. Intake, document review, notarization and electronic recording are all handled remotely, which is common for Tahoe-area owners.

Do you serve Sparks and the rest of Washoe County?

Yes. Reno, Sparks, Incline Village, Sun Valley, Spanish Springs and the rest of Washoe County all record with the same recorder in Reno, and all are served remotely from our Las Vegas office.

How do I know if someone records something against my property?

Washoe County runs a free Recording Notification Service that emails property owners whenever a document is recorded against their property. It is worth signing up for regardless of who prepares your deed, and it is one of the better protections against recording fraud.

I do not have a copy of my current deed. Can you get it?

Yes. We retrieve the last recorded transfer for $30 so the legal description and current vesting on your new deed match the county record exactly. County recorders do not perform title searches for the public.

Do you speak Vietnamese?

Yes. Quinnie Do is a native English and Vietnamese speaker and handles the entire matter in either language, from intake through signing.
