Nevada Open Range Disclosure

NRS 113.065 requires sellers to provide an Open Range Disclosure for properties located in or near designated open range. Open range consists of unfenced land outside cities and towns where livestock, such as cattle and horses, are legally permitted to roam freely, and buyers are advised that animals may travel across or near the property. The disclosure also states that the property may be subject to unrecorded or un-surveyed county or state rights-of-way, sometimes called RS 2477 rights-of-way, which are historic routes that may still allow public or ranch access. In addition, it confirms that property owners may construct lawful fencing to keep livestock out and may, in some cases, seek damages if animals breach a proper fence; however, livestock are legally protected, and owners may not harm roaming animals, even if they enter fenced property.

What are the steps to execute the Nevada Open Range Disclosure?

1. A seller must provide the disclosure before a buyer signs the sales agreement
2. The potential buyer must acknowledge they have received the disclosure, sign, date and return the original document to the seller. *** If the purchaser does not sign (refuses to sign) and return the “original” disclosure form, the seller cannot execute the sales agreement. 
3. The seller must give the buyer a copy of the disclosure document.
4. At closing, the seller’s signature is notarized on the original disclosure document and recorded in the county where the property is located.
