Nevada signing & recording

No — in Nevada the grantor's notarized signature is enough; no separate witnesses are required (NRS 111.105, as of 2026). NRS 111.240 — every conveyance of real property must be acknowledged or proved and certified in the manner provided in ch. 111 and NRS 240.161-240.169 Record the signed deed with the County Recorder. Transfer tax: Real Property Transfer Tax, NRS 375.020: base $0.65 per $500 of value ($1.25 in counties with population 700,000+), plus county add-ons under NRS 375.023/375.026 (combined commonly $1.95/$500 in most counties, $2.55 in Clark County); exemptions in NRS 375.090 include no-consideration transfers between close relatives, between joint tenants, and mere changes in identity/form Check the current Nevada deed rules before recording.

Married? If the property is (or may be) your homestead, your spouse may need to sign the deed even if they are not on title — several states require it, and a deed missing that signature can be rejected for recording or invalid. Use the “Co-grantor / spouse” field above to add their signature line, and check your state’s rule before recording.

Existing mortgage? Transferring mortgaged property can trigger the loan’s “due-on-sale” clause. Federal law (12 U.S.C. §1701j-3(d), the Garn–St Germain Act) bars lenders from enforcing it for several transfers of residential property with fewer than five dwelling units — including a transfer to the borrower’s spouse or children, a transfer resulting from a divorce decree, and a transfer into an inter vivos (living) trust in which the borrower is and remains a beneficiary. The loan itself stays in place either way — nobody is released until it is refinanced. Read the statute ↗

Frequently asked questions

Does Nevada require witnesses on a quitclaim deed?

Where do I record the deed in Nevada?

With the County Recorder where the property is located. Recording is what makes the transfer visible to the world — an unrecorded deed can be valid between the parties but lose to a later buyer or lender who records first. Take the original signed deed, pay the recording fee, and keep the returned stamped copy.

Is there a transfer tax in Nevada?

Real Property Transfer Tax, NRS 375.020: base $0.65 per $500 of value ($1.25 in counties with population 700,000+), plus county add-ons under NRS 375.023/375.026 (combined commonly $1.95/$500 in most counties, $2.55 in Clark County); exemptions in NRS 375.090 include no-consideration transfers between close relatives, between joint tenants, and mere changes in identity/form Check the current rate and exemptions before recording — the recorder will not accept the deed without the required tax forms or stamps.
