Read about recording a Deed or Affidavit in Clark County.

When recording a Deed, Clark County requires that you include a “Declaration of Value” form which is available on the Recorder’s website.  An Affidavit, when used to remove a deceased owner of a property, does not require a “Declaration of Value” form.

Deeds must also include:

  • A cover page with the parcel number (APN)
  • When Recorded Mail To information ie: name and address
  • Mail Tax Statements To information
  • Grantor(s) names, also known as (AKA) the seller or giver of the property
  • Grantee(s) names, AKA the buyer or receiver of the property
  • Signature and Notary
  • Legal Description: ie: Lot, Block, Subdivision Name, Plat Book and Page.  Sometimes it will have “Meets and Bounds” AKA latitude, longitude, etc.
  • State of Nevada Declaration of Value Form
  • All pages must be printed in “Black” ink
  • Pages must be printed on 8-1/2″ x 11″ (letter size)
  • Margins must be a minimum of 1″ all 4 sides, cover page must have a 3″ x 3″ clear space on the top right corner for the Recorder’s Stamp
  • Text, whether printed or handwritten, must be in Black ink
  • Signatures may be either in Blue or Black ink
  • Font size must be 10 point or greater

After you record your document(s) you may receive solicitation by US mail whereby the company is representing that you “need” a certified copy of the document you just recorded.  If you read the mail carefully you will notice that it is “not” sent by a government agency, and if you have the original you do not need a “certified copy”, so save your money.
