Clark County NV Recorder Office: Address & Records

The main Recorder counter is inside the Clark County Government Center at 500 S. Grand Central Parkway in Las Vegas.

Use the main office when mailing or overnighting a document, recording maps, or completing a transaction outside the limited branch services.

Clark County’s Acclaim portal is useful when you know a party name, APN, instrument number, document type, book/page, recording date or legal description.

A street-address search is different. The Recorder portal directs address searches to the Clark County Assessor.

Only know the street address?

Use Clark County Assessor Real Property Records to locate the parcel and APN first.

Clark County publishes detailed formatting and submission requirements for deeds and other land documents.

Review them before signing, notarizing, mailing or visiting the Recorder because missing APNs, legal descriptions, margins or fees can delay recording.

1. Prepare the legal document.

   The Recorder records qualifying documents but does not prepare your deed or decide which deed form is legally appropriate.

2. Add the 11-digit APN when required.

   Clark County requires the parcel number at the upper-left corner of the first page for real-property documents, subject to published exceptions.

3. Leave Recorder label space.

   The first page must have a blank 3-by-3-inch area in the upper-right corner.

4. Check signatures and notarization.

   Names generally must be printed or typed below signatures. Many deeds and real-property documents must be notarized before recording.

5. Add return and tax-statement addresses.

   Every document needs a clear return address. Documents transferring title also need a “Mail Tax Statements To” name and address.

6. Include the legal description.

   A legal description must appear on documents transferring real property.

7. Complete the Declaration of Value.

   Clark County requires this form for documents conveying an interest, with the published exception for an Affidavit Terminating Joint Tenancy.

8. Calculate fees and transfer tax.

   Include the correct Recorder fees and Real Property Transfer Tax unless a valid exemption applies.

9. Submit through the correct channel.

   Use the main office, eligible branch, remote kiosk, mail or an approved eRecording route depending on the document.

The current Clark County Declaration of Value packet asks for the affected APNs, property type, value, transfer-tax calculation, grantor and grantee information, and any claimed statutory exemption.

Clark County’s October 2025 revised packet states that the form requires one original signature and that claimed exemptions may require supporting documentation.

Certain transfers can qualify for exemptions under NRS 375.090. Do not claim an exemption simply because no money changed hands.

Clark County does not accept personal checks, foreign money orders or foreign cashier’s checks.

Cash is accepted in person. Cashier’s checks and money orders should be payable to Clark County Recorder.

Anyone may purchase copies of documents recorded with the Clark County Recorder.

Copies can be ordered online, in person or by mail. Finding the instrument number first makes the process faster.

Clark County’s Recording Notification Service can send an email when a document is recorded using a monitored name or parcel number.

The service does not prevent a recording and does not guarantee that every relevant document will generate an alert.

1. Add name variations. Include common versions of your personal, trust or business name.
2. Add parcel numbers. Clark County recommends monitoring APNs as well as names.
3. Use an active email. Alerts are sent electronically.
4. Save the instrument number. An alert includes the recording number needed for a document lookup.

Clark County operates remote recording kiosks around the Las Vegas Valley and outlying communities.

Published kiosk services include recording deeds and other documents, obtaining copies, scanning documents, accessing archives and some Assessor/Treasurer payment functions.
