(b) The amount of the assessment lien that will be placed on the tract for a qualified improvement project, if used for improving or retrofitting an existing structure, does not exceed 25 percent of the fair market value of the property assessed, as determined by a certified appraiser pursuant to guidelines adopted pursuant to NRS 271.6325.
