Where the records are

The county offices an investor deals with in Clark County, and what each one puts online.

Deeds and mortgages

Clark County Recorder. Recorded documents can be searched free by name, parcel number, instrument number or document type in the Recorder's online record search, and copies cost $1 a page plus $4 to certify, ordered online.

Owners and values

Clark County Assessor. The Assessor's free real property search finds parcels by parcel number, owner name, address or subdivision and links to parcel maps.

Tax sales

Clark County Treasurer. Auction schedules, parcel lists and past sale results are posted free on the Treasurer's auction site at treasurer.clarkcountynv.gov/auction.

Foreclosure sales

Clark County Sheriff's Civil Section, Sheriff's Sales. Each year's court-ordered sheriff sales are listed free online with date, case number, address, parcel number and the law firm handling the sale.

Parcel maps

Clark County GIS (OpenWeb). The county's free OpenWeb map shows Assessor parcels with other county map layers, and printable PDF maps are on the GIS department's free maps page.

How property is sold here

Clark County follows Nevada's rules, with its own calendar and offices. Read the Nevada guide for how the state works.

Tax sales

Nevada does not sell tax liens; property three years delinquent is deeded to the Clark County Treasurer as trustee and then sold at a public tax auction. The Treasurer holds at least one auction a year, usually in spring, and sometimes a second in fall; the list runs in a local newspaper once a week for four weeks beforehand and is posted on the Treasurer's auction site. Bidders need a $5,000 registration deposit, pay in full in certified funds on auction day, and get a quitclaim deed with no redemption period.

Foreclosure sales

Court-ordered sheriff sales of real property are held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays on the steps of the north entrance of the Regional Justice Center, 200 Lewis Ave., Las Vegas, and are listed on the Sheriff's Sales page. Most mortgage foreclosures in Nevada are instead nonjudicial trustee sales run by the lender's trustee, with notices recorded at the Recorder's office.

Assessed values

Clark County property tax bills are reset each fiscal year, with increases capped at 3% for an owner's primary home and up to 8% for rentals, land and commercial property under Nevada's tax abatement law.

Transfer tax

Clark County's real property transfer tax is $2.55 per $500 of value (about $5.10 per $1,000), paid to the Recorder when the deed is recorded, and it applies in Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas alike.

Worth knowing

Recording a new ownership deed removes the 3% owner-occupied tax cap, so an investor buying a home will usually see the higher cap of up to 8% apply.

Worth knowing

Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas are separate cities, but large parts of the Las Vegas Valley, including the Strip, are unincorporated Clark County.

Worth knowing

Tax auction buyers get no redemption period, but the former owner has two years to protest the sale, so title insurance may be hard to get at first.
