How Nevada is different
- Tax on real property transfers: 0.39% of the price. Recording the deed triggers collection of the tax. Our research doesn't identify who the law requires to pay. tax.nv.gov
- The Declaration of Value form must be filled out in full; the county recorder calculates the transfer tax using the declared value. tax.nv.gov
- When the recipient falls within the grantor's first degree of lineal consanguinity or affinity, no transfer tax applies. tax.nv.gov
- Former spouses who transfer title under a divorce decree owe no transfer tax. tax.nv.gov
- No transfer tax applies under NRS 111.109 when a deed takes effect at the grantor's death. tax.nv.gov
- Owner's and lender's title policies together cost from $1,046 through $1,407 in Clark County on coverage of $150,000, so shopping around matters. doi.nv.gov
- Insurers apply a short-term reissue rate of 80% of the basic rate when the seller was insured on residential property within the previous five years. docs.nv.gov
- Title insurance: each insurer files. Companies charge different title insurance prices, and you're free to pick one other than the company someone recommends. A tool for comparing rates comes from the Division of Insurance. doi.nv.gov

Using the Nevada calculator
Enter a sale price, and the list shows every buyer and seller charge. The starting point is 20% down, so entering a different amount updates your cash to close right away.
The total counts commission only when you add a rate. Redfin reports that the average buyer's agent commission nationwide is 2.42% of the price. The rate you pick can change the total a lot.
Nevada has no recording fee line in the calculator, so you pay that fee above the total shown. For example, each document recorded in Washoe County costs $43.00. Every county decides what it charges.
Property tax comes later, after you take ownership of the home. In Nevada, an owner-occupied home has a median bill of $2,027 a year, about 0.47% of the median home value. Put your price and down payment into the calculator for your own figures.
Nevada's transfer tax
Nevada charges a 0.39% real property transfer tax on the sale price, at deed recording. Certain transfers are free of tax. Who pays the tax is not stated in the state guidance cited here.
A Declaration of Value lists the amount the property sold for. Fill in every section, because the county recorder uses that figure to calculate what you owe.
Who doesn't pay the Nevada transfer tax?
Some transfers are exempt, so no tax applies to them.
- This includes a transfer to an owner's parent or child, even one related by marriage.
- A transfer under a divorce decree between former spouses.
- Nevada law NRS 111.109 covers deeds that take effect when the owner dies.

| Price | Tax due |
|---|---|
| $400,000 | $1,560 total |
