Universal Citation: NV Rev Stat § 361A.120 (2017)
Previous Next

1. Upon receipt of an application, the county assessor or the Department shall make an independent determination of the use of the owner’s real property. The assessor or the Department shall consider the use of the property by its owner or occupant together with any other agricultural real property that is a part of one agricultural unit being operated by the owner or occupant. The assessor or the Department shall consider the use of agricultural real property which is not contiguous to the owner’s real property only if that property has been in agricultural use for at least 2 months during the 2 years preceding the receipt of the application.

2. The assessor or the Department may inspect the property and request such evidence of use and sources of income as is necessary to make an accurate determination of use. The assessor or the Department may deny the application when the owner or occupant refuses to permit the inspection or furnish the evidence.

3. The Department shall provide by regulation for a more detailed definition of agricultural use, consistent with the general definition given in NRS 361A.030, for use by county assessors or the Department in determining entitlement to agricultural use assessment.

4. The county assessor or the Department shall send to the applicant a written notice of the determination within 10 days after determining the applicant’s entitlement to agricultural use assessment. If an applicant seeking agricultural use assessment on property located in more than one county is refused such assessment in any one county, the applicant may withdraw his or her application for such assessment in all other counties.

5. The county assessor or the Department shall record the application with the county recorder within 10 days after its approval.
