DECLARATION OF VALUE

A State of Nevada Declaration of Value must accompany all deeds presented for recording. Documents that transfer an interest in real property but are non-taxable do not require a Declaration of Value. Non-taxable documents are a lease for a term of years, an easement, a deed of trust or common law mortgage, an affidavit of surviving tenant, and a conveyance or a right of way.

The Declaration of Value is provided by the Nevada Tax Commission and may not be materially altered or added to. If a deed is presented with an incomplete Declaration of Value, the recorder may refuse the items for recording. This document can be found on the Pershing County website.
