01/01/2020 FEE INCREASE

Effective January 1, 2020 Storey County's recording fees have increased by $2 on most document types and maps. The recording fee for a standard document is $37. The increase is a result of SB20 passed in the 2019 Nevada State Legislative Session. Visit our new fee schedule.

The County Recorder is charged with recording documents and filing maps. This office is also responsible for maintaining cross reference indexes to these records. The office provides retrieval of records for public viewing and produces copies and certifications of records. Real property transfer tax is collected on transfers of real property. 

The primary goal of the Storey County Recorder’s Office is to maintain accurate, reliable stewardship of the county's public records through strict compliance with all applicable laws and the dedication of professional, well-trained staff. We are committed to protecting and preserving the integrity of the county’s historical records while providing increased access to records and staying technologically viable as we progress to the future.
