Search Clark County Deeds, Official Records, Copies & Recorder Offices
People searching for the Clark County Recorder of Deeds are looking for the Clark County Recorder’s Office in Nevada. The Recorder records, indexes and preserves deeds, deeds of trust, reconveyances, liens, homestead declarations, maps and other authorized public documents.
The official online system supports searches by name, 11-digit APN, instrument number, document type, book/page, record date, total value and legal description. Search details are free, but document images are not simply displayed online; copies are ordered separately.
Where Do You Search Clark County NV Deeds?
Use the Clark County Recorder’s official Acclaim public-record search. If you know only the property address, start with the Clark County Assessor first to get the property’s 11-digit Assessor Parcel Number, or APN, then return to the Recorder portal for the deed and related recorded documents.
Search Recorded Documents
The Recorder portal supports Simple Search plus dedicated searches for name, parcel number, instrument number, document type, book/page, record date, value and legal description.
Open Official Search ↗Only Know the Address?
Use the Assessor’s Real Property Records search first. Search by address, owner or parcel and save the 11-digit APN before returning to Recorder records.
Find the APN ↗Need the Actual Image?
Clark County’s Recorder search help states that document images are not available merely for online viewing. Find the document first, then order a plain or certified copy.
Order Copies ↗How to Search Clark County Recorder of Deeds Records
Clark County offers more search routes than many recorder systems. Use the most precise identifier you already have instead of entering every possible field.
Open the Clark County Recorder Search
Use the official Acclaim portal rather than a private deed-copy or people-search website.
Open Recorder Records Search ↗
Search by Name
For an individual, enter the last name and optionally a first name or initial. The portal also supports company-name searching.
Use Starts With, Contains or Exact Match as appropriate, then narrow with a date range or document type when the name is common.
Search by 11-Digit APN
The Parcel # search accepts a Clark County Assessor parcel number such as 176-15-301-024. The portal allows Starts With, Contains and Exact matching.
This is often the cleanest method when multiple people share the same name.
Use Instrument Number for the Fastest Exact Match
If a deed, title report, escrow file or earlier county record gives you the recorded instrument number, use the Instrument # search rather than rebuilding the search by name.
Use Book/Page for Older References
The portal supports Book Type, Book Number and Page Number. This can be useful when an older deed or related instrument cites a book and page instead of a modern instrument number.
Use Legal Description for Difficult Searches
Clark County’s legal-description search supports parcel number, subdivision, lot, block, unit, tract, section, township, range and other legal-description components.
Do not guess at a legal description. Use wording from an existing official document or parcel record.
Save the Instrument Number Before Ordering
Once you identify the correct deed, deed of trust, reconveyance, lien or other instrument, save its instrument number, document type, recorded date and page count.
Those details simplify online, mail and in-person copy orders.
Which Clark County Record Search Should You Use?
How to Find a Clark County Deed From a Street Address
The Recorder search is strongest when you already know a name, APN or instrument number. Clark County specifically sends address searches to the Assessor.
Search the Assessor
The Assessor provides real-property searches by parcel number, owner name, address, subdivision and other parcel identifiers.
Open Assessor Search ↗Save the 11-Digit APN
Confirm the parcel address and owner, then save the Assessor Parcel Number. Clark County uses this identifier throughout its property-record and Recorder systems.
Return to the Recorder
Search the APN in the Recorder portal and filter by document type or recording date to locate deeds, deeds of trust, reconveyances, liens and related records.
What Records Does the Clark County Recorder Handle?
Ownership Documents
Recorded real-property documents include deeds, quitclaim deeds, warranty deeds, trustee deeds, grant-bargain-sale deeds, gift deeds and deeds upon death.
Financing Records
Deeds of trust, notices of default, reconveyances, assignments and other financing-related instruments can be part of a property’s recorded history.
Liens & Judgments
Recorder indexes include many lien, judgment and other statutory recordings. Use the legal document itself—not only its index label—to understand what was actually recorded.
Recorded Maps
Parcel maps, subdivision plats, surveys and other qualifying maps have specialized recording requirements and fees.
Homestead Declarations
Nevada homestead declarations are recorded through the Recorder. The current fee page lists homestead filing at $42 per document.
Marriage Records Are Different
Marriage-license and marriage-certificate functions belong to the Clark County Clerk, not the Recorder’s deed search system.
How to Get a Clark County Deed Copy or Certified Copy
The search portal identifies the recorded document, but Clark County does not simply expose official document images for unrestricted online viewing. Once you locate the instrument, order a copy online, by mail or through a Recorder office.
Plain Copies
Clark County’s current Recorder fee page lists $1 per page for official-record copies.
Certified Copies
Certification is an additional $4 per document, not $4 for every page.
Online Processing Fee
Online credit/debit transactions include the third-party processing fee currently listed as 2% of the transaction total + $1.25.
How to Record a Deed in Clark County Nevada
Most rejected filings fail because of missing parcel information, formatting, addresses, legal descriptions, forms or payment. Use the Recorder’s requirements before signing, mailing or walking in with a deed.
Use the Correct 11-Digit APN
Clark County requires the 11-digit Assessor Parcel Number at the upper-left of the first page for land documents covered by the requirement.
Leave a 3 × 3 Inch Recording Space
The first page must leave a blank 3-inch by 3-inch area in the upper-right corner for the Recorder’s recording label. Clark County provides a cover-sheet option when needed.
Check Signatures and Notary Requirements
Deeds and many other documents must be properly acknowledged by a notary. The Recorder does not provide notarial services.
Names generally need to be printed or typed beneath signatures, subject to the Recorder’s stated exceptions.
Add Return and Tax-Statement Addresses
Include the required return address. Transfer documents also need the appropriate Mail Tax Statements To name and address.
Verify the Legal Description
A deed transferring land needs a sufficient legal description. Do not substitute only a postal street address when the legal instrument requires the property’s legal description.
Complete the Declaration of Value
Clark County states that a Declaration of Value is required for documents conveying an interest in real property, except for the specific exception stated for an Affidavit Terminating Joint Tenancy.
Calculate Real Property Transfer Tax
The current Clark County rate is $2.55 per $500 of taxable value, or fraction thereof. Certain transfers qualify for statutory exemptions under Nevada law.
Pay the Correct Recording Fee and Submit
Confirm the live Recorder fee page before submission. Qualifying documents may be mailed, delivered to the proper office or submitted electronically through an approved eRecording provider.

Estimate Clark County Real Property Transfer Tax
This calculator uses Clark County’s published $2.55-per-$500 rate. It does not decide taxable value, exemptions or whether transfer tax applies to your specific deed.
Clark County’s official instructions state that transfer tax is calculated at $2.55 per $500 of value or fraction thereof. Values from $0–$100 have no RPTT under the published table. Statutory exemptions and special circumstances can change the actual amount.
Can You eRecord a Clark County Nevada Deed?
Yes. Clark County offers electronic recording primarily for frequent recording customers such as title companies, law firms, financial institutions and other real-estate businesses.
Authorized Submitters
The Recorder currently lists third-party electronic courier options including Simplifile, CSC, eRecording Partners Network, Deeds.com and Hopdox.
Not Required for Occasional Filers
A homeowner with a single recordable document can still use the Recorder’s ordinary in-person or mail process when appropriate.
No Legal Preparation
eRecording changes how the document is delivered. It does not make the Recorder responsible for drafting, correcting or giving legal advice about the document.
Clark County Recording Notification Service (RNS)
Clark County offers a Recording Notification Service that sends email alerts when a recorded document is indexed against an enrolled name and/or parcel number.
Monitor Both Name and APN
The Recorder specifically recommends monitoring name variations and parcel numbers because not every name appearing in a document is indexed, and an APN is not required on every possible recording.
Open RNS Information ↗RNS Does Not Block Recording
RNS is an alert service only. Clark County says it cannot prevent a document from being recorded when the document meets statutory recording requirements.
If you suspect document fraud, contact law enforcement and seek legal advice.

|---|---|
