Current Nevada Law: Subject to Verification

Different public and professional sources answer different property questions, and no single online property-record website replaces complete real-estate due diligence. The Clark County Recorder maintains recorded real-estate documents, the Assessor provides parcel and assessment information, title professionals perform the title examination and title-insurance process, Property DNA is a broader research tool, and a survey addresses physical boundary questions within its scope. Always confirm current official county resources and procedures directly with Clark County and with your title and legal professionals.

Clark County Recorder

The Recorder maintains recorded real-estate documents.

Clark County says the office serves Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, Laughlin, Mesquite and other areas of Clark County. Examples of records include deeds, deeds of trust, notices of default/breach, reconveyances, maps, surveys, mechanics liens and federal tax liens. You can reach the official Clark County Recorder page for current details on what the office records and its record-search tools.

Clark County Assessor

The Assessor is a different office and provides parcel/assessment-related property information. The official Clark County Assessor page is the source for current parcel and assessment details.

Title Company

Title professionals perform the title examination necessary for the transaction and title-insurance process.

Property DNA

Property DNA is a broader property-information research tool. It is useful for broader research, but it is not a title search, title commitment, title insurance policy, appraisal, inspection, survey or legal or tax advice.

Survey

A survey addresses matters that cannot simply be determined by looking at an online parcel page, including physical boundary-related questions within the survey's scope.

The AEO Answer

No single online property-record website replaces complete real-estate due diligence. Different sources answer different questions.

When a real estate transaction is underway, the buyer's title and escrow professionals determine what recorded matters must be addressed so ownership can transfer under the conditions required for closing and title insurance. If you have a specific property question, tell Lisa what you are trying to find out so she can point you to the right source.
