Nevada's Real Property Transfer Tax has a base statewide rate, plus higher add-ons in Washoe, Churchill, and Clark counties. This calculator applies the correct rate for your county — and only shows a recording fee where one is actually documented.
Transfer tax and deed-recording fee only — excludes title insurance, escrow, lender fees, and mortgage-recording fees.
| Other counties — RPTT (800 × $1.95) | $1,560.00 |
| Washoe/Churchill — RPTT (800 × $2.05) | $1,640.00 |
| Clark County — RPTT (800 × $2.55) | $2,040.00 |
| Clark County — recording fee | $42.00 |
| Clark County total (only county with a sourced all-in total) | $2,082.00 |
This is a tax-module example, not a complete settlement statement — title, escrow, lender, and mortgage-recording charges are not included. Nevada has no verified uniform statewide all-in recording fee, so the "other counties" and "Washoe/Churchill" totals intentionally show transfer tax only.
NRS 375.020 and NRS 375.023 set a base statewide rate of $1.95 per $500 of value. NRS 375.026 adds $0.10 per $500 in Washoe and Churchill counties, bringing their total to $2.05 per $500. Clark County's local rate adds $0.60 per $500, bringing its total to $2.55 per $500. The Nevada Department of Taxation lists this exact three-tier structure, so the local-overlay finding here is affirmatively confirmed.
Recording fees in Nevada are set by each county recorder individually, and no verified uniform statewide all-in figure exists. Rather than fabricate a number for "other counties" or "Washoe/Churchill," this calculator only adds a recording fee for Clark County, where the official recorder's $42.00 per-document fee is directly documented. Confirm your own county's recording fee before relying on a total outside Clark County.
Closing costs are the fees and charges required to finalize a real estate purchase, separate from your down payment and the home's purchase price. Beyond the Nevada transfer tax and recording fee calculated above, a typical closing includes a handful of other charges: a loan origination fee charged by your lender, an appraisal fee to confirm the home's value, a home inspection fee, a title search and title insurance premium (a lender's policy is required by most lenders, and an owner's policy is optional but recommended), an escrow or settlement agent fee, and prepaid items such as homeowners insurance and the property tax and mortgage interest your lender collects upfront into escrow. Which of these apply, and how much each one costs, depends on your lender, your loan program, and the title or escrow company handling your closing — this calculator covers only the government-charged transfer tax and recording fee shown above, not the full closing cost picture.
Several factors shape how much you'll actually pay at closing on a Nevada property, beyond the transfer tax and recording fee shown above. Loan type matters: FHA loans add an upfront mortgage insurance premium, VA loans add a funding fee (waived for some veterans and service members), and USDA loans add a guarantee fee, while conventional loans typically don't carry a comparable upfront charge. Property type matters too — condos and homes in planned communities often require an extra fee for HOA document review or a resale certificate, and multi-unit or investment properties can carry higher title insurance premiums than a standard single-family purchase. County and municipality matter as well: recording fees, and in some states local transfer taxes, can vary from county to county, so the figures on this page reflect the Nevada statutory default — always confirm with the specific county recorder's or clerk's office where you're closing. Finally, purchase price and loan amount drive costs that scale with value, including title insurance premiums, percentage-based origination fees, and the transfer tax calculated above.
