REAL PROPERTY TRANSFER TAX
The Real Property Transfer Tax (RPTT) is collected when an interest in real property is conveyed. The transfer tax is collected by the County Recorder at the time of recording. For the current transfer tax rate in Eureka County, contact the Recorder's office. The basis for the tax is the actual selling price or the assessed value of the price of the property being conveyed.
Documents transferring title must be accompanied by a Declaration of Value form. The Declaration of Value form is not currently available on the Eureka County Recorder's webpage, but a Google search for "Nevada Declaration of Value" will provide many links. A Declaration of Value form is necessary for any document that transfers interest in real property whether transfer tax is due or an exemption is claimed. This form enables the Recorder's Office to effectively administer transfer tax. A conveyance of real property must contain a completed Declaration of Value. Incomplete forms will be returned unrecorded.
It is preferred that both parties sign and complete the form, as both the seller/grantor and buyer/grantee are jointly and severally responsible for payment of transfer tax. If the seller/grantor or buyer/grantee does not sign the form, the person signing is required to identify themselves and their capacity.
