a document designated in NRS 247.120 in

1. County recorders may record any document authorized, entitled
or required by law to be recorded when presented for recording.
2. A county recorder may deny a request to record a document if,

not be lawfully recorded. If a recorder fails to make such a
determination within the specified period, the recorder shall record the
document as soon as practicable, unless otherwise ordered by a court.
3. A county recorder who denies a request to record a document

subsection 2, the requester may apply to the district court in the county

court shall give this matter priority over other civil matters to which
priority is not given by other statutes. If the requester prevails:
(a) He is entitled to recover from the county recorder any filing
fees that he paid related to the proceeding.
(b) The county recorder shall record the document as soon as
practicable.
5. If a county recorder denied recordation of a document pursuant
to subsection 2, a person shall not resubmit the document for recordation

lawfully recorded or the person has obtained a court order pursuant to
subsection 4. Unless a greater penalty is provided by NRS 239.330 , a violation of this subsection is a
misdemeanor.

1. Each county recorder shall maintain two separate indexes in his
office for the separate alphabetical recordation of the various classes
of documents specified in NRS 247.120 .
One of the indexes must be for the grantors, defendants, mortgagors,
trustors, lessors, vendors, assignors, appointors, parties releasing,
judgment debtors, testators, obligors under bonds, parties against whom
liens are claimed or attachments issued, mining locators, name of mine,
persons filing or parties adversely affected by the document indexed, and
the other index must be for the grantees, plaintiffs, mortgagees,
beneficiaries, lessees, vendees, assignees, appointees, parties whose
mortgages, deeds of trust, liens and similar encumbrances are released or
the parties benefited by the document indexed.
2. Each of the indexes must be so arranged as to show:
(a) The names of each of the parties to each document except as
otherwise provided in subsection 5.
(b) The date on which the document was recorded in the office of
the county recorder.
(c) The book and page where the document is recorded, or the
document number.
(d) Such other data as in the discretion of the county recorder may
seem desirable.
Ę If the index is one general series for all documents recorded, it must
also show the character of the document indexed.
3. A county recorder may keep in the same volume any two or more
of the indexes provided for in this section, but the indexes must be kept
distinct from each other. Every volume of indexes must be distinctly
marked on the outside in such a way as to show all of the indexes kept in
it.
4. The first column of the several indexes for parties adversely
affected and parties benefited must be arranged in alphabetical order.
5. When a conveyance is executed by a sheriff, the name of the
county and the party charged in the execution must both be inserted in
the indexes. When a document is recorded to which an executor,
administrator, guardian or trustee is a party, the name of the executor,
administrator, guardian or trustee, together with the name of the
testator, intestate, or ward, or party for whom the trust is held, must
be inserted in the index, except that the name of the trustee in a deed
of trust or in a partial or full deed of reconveyance need not be
indexed. A trustee’s deed given upon exercise of the power of sale under
any deed of trust must be indexed under the names of the original trustor
and the grantee named in it. A document affecting a limited partnership
is not required to be indexed under the names of the limited partners if
it is indexed under the names of the partnership and the general partners.
6. In addition to the indexes required by this section, the county
recorder shall keep and maintain other indexes required in the
performance of his official duties.
7. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 8, every document
deposited in the office of any county recorder for recordation, must be

a county recorder must:

townships, ranges and sections indicated on the face of the map; and

road.
9. As an alternative to the method of indexing prescribed by this
section, the county recorder may use in place of the index books or
volumes:
(a) Card indexes with a metal-reinforced hole punched in them for
rod insertion, and the card indexes must be kept in suitable metal file
cabinets.
(b) A secure electronic method of indexing, including, without
limitation, microfilm produced by computer or a system using computer
terminals.

of the county recorder; and

1 is furnished, the county recorder shall not charge a filing fee for any
page which contains those names.

Whenever a document
is recorded by a county recorder or a copy of a document has been
inserted into a book of record other than that designated by law, but is
later included in the correct index, the document from the date of
indexing imparts notice of its contents to all persons. Subsequent
purchasers, mortgagees, lienholders and encumbrancers purchase and take
with like notice and effect as if the document had been recorded in the
proper book of record.
[6:120:1923; A 1949, 84; 1943 NCL § 2116]—(NRS A 1985, 1683; 2001,

1. Whenever a document has been recorded by a county recorder as a
deed of trust, mortgage or financing statement, or a copy of a document
has been inserted into a book of deeds, deeds of trust, mortgages or
financing statement, the document need not be again recorded in the
office as a different document from that so recorded, but the county
recorder shall:
(a) Index the document in any of the indexes kept in his office
upon the request of the person requesting the recording of the document;
and
(b) Index the payment to him of his legal fees for such indexing.
2. The document from the date of such indexing imparts notice of
its contents to all persons, and subsequent purchasers, mortgagees,
lienholders and encumbrancers purchase and take with like notice and
effect as if the document had been copied or recorded in the proper book
of records corresponding with all indexes where so indexed.

1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 111.312 and 247.145 ,
whenever a document conveying, encumbering or mortgaging both real and
personal property is presented to a county recorder for recording, the
county recorder shall record the document. The record must be indexed in
the real estate index as deeds and other conveyances are required by law
to be indexed, and for which the county recorder may receive the same
fees as are allowed by law for recording and indexing deeds and other
documents, but only one fee for the recording of a document may be
collected.
2. A county recorder who records a document pursuant to this
section shall, within 7 working days after he records the document,
provide to the county assessor at no charge:
(a) A duplicate copy of the document and any supporting documents;

parties shall be deemed to purchase and take with notice.
2. All documents deposited for recordation with the county
recorder must have typed or legibly printed the names of all signers
thereon, excluding those of the acknowledging officers and witnesses,
beneath the original signatures. If a document does not contain the typed
or printed names, the county recorder shall accept the document for
recordation if accompanied by an affidavit, for recordation with the
document, correctly spelling in legible print or type the signatures
appearing on the document. This requirement does not apply to military
discharges or military documents, to wills or court records, or to a
document dated before July 1, 1963. Failure to print or type signatures
as provided in this subsection does not invalidate the document.
