Find the right help for the question in front of you

Use the Assessor for assessed value and parcel records, the Treasurer for property-tax accounts and payments, the Recorder for recorded deeds, and the Probate Division for probate case-process questions. A Reno mailing name does not by itself establish whether a property is inside City limits; check the parcel’s actual jurisdiction for code or permit questions.

Reno is in southern Washoe County, on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada in the Truckee Meadows. For a sale question, compare the situation pages, guide, market report, and calculator below. You can also call 888-274-5006.

Reno and Washoe County resources: what each office handles

Assessment, tax collection, recorded land documents, probate case routing, and local code questions go to different offices. Start with the contact that matches your task, and verify the parcel’s jurisdiction before using a City or County code route.

Washoe County Assessor

Washoe County · real-property assessment and parcel records

Use the Assessor for assessed value, assessment, and parcel-record questions. Assessment records are not the same as recorded ownership documents or a property-tax payment account.

1001 E. 9th Street, Building D, Reno, NV 89512-2845 · 775-328-2277.

Washoe County Treasurer

Washoe County · property-tax accounts, payments, and tax-auction routing

Contact the Treasurer for a property-tax account or payment question and to find the right route for a tax-auction notice. For an assessed-value or parcel-record question, contact the Assessor instead.

1001 E. 9th Street, Room D140, Reno, NV 89512-2845 · 775-328-2510.

Washoe County Recorder’s Office

Washoe County · recorded real-estate documents and recording requirements

Use the Recorder for recorded deeds and other real-estate documents, recording requirements, and Washoe real property transfer tax routing. A recorded land document is a different record from a court case or judgment.

1001 E. Ninth Street, Reno, NV 89512 · real-estate records: 775-328-3660.

Second Judicial District Court, Probate Division

Washoe County · probate routing and case-process contact

For a probate case-process question, start with the Probate Division. Have the case information available; this contact does not determine the proper venue or who may sign for a particular property.

75 Court Street, Room 125, Reno, NV 89501 · 775-328-3100.

City of Reno Code Enforcement

City of Reno only · property maintenance and nuisance complaints

Use City Code Enforcement for Reno property-maintenance or nuisance questions. Confirm the parcel’s governing jurisdiction with the City; an area mailing name does not establish that a property is inside Reno city limits.

Mail: P.O. Box 1900, Reno, NV 89505 · 775-334-2229.

Washoe County Code Enforcement and Building Department

Unincorporated Washoe County · county code and building-permit routes

For a property outside Reno city limits in unincorporated Washoe County, use the County routes for code-enforcement or building-permit questions. City and County contacts differ, so check the parcel’s actual jurisdiction first.

Use the County’s official pages below for the appropriate code-enforcement or building-permit contact.

A Nevada sale-cost fact

Check Washoe’s transfer-tax amount before a deed is recorded

Nevada real property transfer tax applies when a deed is recorded. It is calculated for each $500 of value, or part of $500, and the applicable rate depends on the county. Do not use a rate from another Nevada county to estimate a Washoe County sale. Ask the Washoe County Recorder or your closing professional to confirm the amount for the property and transaction; the Recorder collects the tax with the declaration of value before recording the deed.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Nevada's real property transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and your share of current property taxes are separate.

Contact the Washoe County Treasurer at 775-328-2510 for property-tax account and payment questions and tax-auction routing. Its official Treasurer and tax-auction pages are listed above.

Use the Washoe County Recorder’s Office for recorded deeds, other real-estate documents, recording requirements, and transfer-tax routing. Call 775-328-3660 for real-estate records. Court case or judgment records are a different record path.

Check the parcel’s actual jurisdiction rather than relying only on its mailing address.
