Universal Citation: NV Rev Stat § 268.596 (2019)

The annexation ordinance must contain:

1. Specific findings showing that the territory being annexed meets the requirements of NRS 268.580. The external boundaries of the territory being annexed must be accurately described.

2. A statement of the intent of the annexing city to extend services to the territory being annexed as set forth in the report required by NRS 268.578. If the report provides that the extension of those services, or portions thereof, must be done at the expense of the property owners in the territory being annexed, the annexation ordinance must designate which services, or portions thereof, must be extended at the expense of the annexing city and which services, or portions thereof, must be extended at the expense of the property owners.

3. A specific finding that on the effective date of the annexation, the annexing city will have funds appropriated in sufficient amount to finance the extension of any services designated in the report to be made at the expense of the annexing city, into the territory being annexed, or that on the effective date of the annexation the annexing city will have authority to issue bonds in an amount sufficient to finance the extension. If authority to issue the bonds must be secured from the electorate of the annexing city prior to the effective date of the annexation, then the effective date of annexation must be not earlier than the date following the statement of the successful result of the bond election.

4. The specific date on which the annexation becomes effective, which date may be fixed for any date within 12 months from the date of passage of the annexation ordinance; but no such annexation may become effective within 90 days next preceding any general election at which state or county officers, or officers of the annexing city, are chosen.
