Nevada property data

Nevada is a little different. Nevada has 16 counties plus Carson City, a consolidated city and county that keeps its own records. Here's what's public, what's hard to get, and what Deedplat puts on one map.

What you can get in Nevada

Nevada makes most property records public, including what each property sold for. The catch is that every county keeps them differently.

Public everywhere

Every county has these, and Deedplat loads them all.

  • Owners and mailing addressesFrom the county Assessor in each county and Carson City
  • Sale pricesBuyers file a declaration of value when a deed is recorded and the transfer tax is based on the price, so sale prices are public.
  • Deeds and mortgagesCounty Recorder in each county and Carson City
  • Assessed valuesAssessors update taxable values every year.
  • Tax deed salesRun county by county
  • Foreclosure filings and salesNotices of sale are recorded or posted
  • Lot linesCounty parcel maps

Depends on the town

Cities such as Las Vegas, Henderson and Reno keep building permits and code enforcement records, and the Nevada Public Records Act covers those records.

  • Code violations and condemnations
  • Building permits
  • Rental registration and inspections
  • Zoning maps and ordinances
  • Water and sewer liens

Not public

What no office will hand over, so you know where the line is.

  • Owner phone numbers and emails
  • Rents and leases
  • Active listingsThose live in the MLS
  • Mortgage balancesThe original loan amount is recorded; what's left is not

How property changes hands here

Distressed property reaches the market through a few channels, and they differ by county.

Tax deeds

If taxes stay unpaid, the County Treasurer holds the property in trust for two years (one year if abandoned) while the owner can redeem by paying taxes, penalties and 10% a year interest. After that the treasurer takes a deed and sells the property, usually at public auction, with a minimum bid that covers what is owed. Former owners can claim any excess proceeds within one year after the deed is recorded.

Foreclosure mostly skips the courts

Most Nevada loans use a deed of trust, so foreclosure is usually a trustee sale held outside court after notice. Owners who live in the home can ask for the state's foreclosure mediation program before the sale.

Land banks

Nevada has no state law that lets local governments create land banks for vacant or tax-delinquent property.

Transfer tax

Nevada's real property transfer tax is $1.95 per $500 of value in most counties. Clark County charges $2.55 per $500, and Washoe and Churchill counties charge $2.05 per $500.

Worth knowing

Nevada caps yearly property tax bill increases at 3% for an owner's primary home and up to 8% for other property, so a buyer's tax bill can differ a lot from the seller's.

Worth knowing

Assessed value in Nevada is 35% of taxable value, and taxable value cannot exceed market value.

Questions

Are property sale prices public in Nevada?

Yes. Nevada is a disclosure state. A declaration of value is filed when the deed is recorded, and the transfer tax is based on the price.

How do tax sales work in Nevada?

The County Treasurer holds the property in trust for two years while the owner can redeem with 10% interest. If no one redeems, the treasurer sells the property, usually at auction, and the former owner can claim any surplus within one year.

Where are deeds and mortgages recorded in Nevada?

With the County Recorder in the county where the property sits, or the Carson City Recorder.

How often are Nevada properties reassessed?

Every year. Assessors update taxable values annually.

Is foreclosure judicial in Nevada?

Usually not. Most loans use a deed of trust, so a trustee sells the property after notice without a lawsuit. Judicial foreclosure is possible but less common.

Can I get records Deedplat doesn't have?

Yes. The Nevada Public Records Act lets anyone request records from state, county and city offices, such as code violations and permits. We file those requests for you, clean up the results and add them to your map.
