NRS 354.59818 - Limitation upon revenue from taxes ad valorem: Levy of additional tax ad valorem for operation of regional facility without approval of voters.

1. In addition to the allowed revenue from taxes ad valorem determined pursuant to NRS 354.59811, the boards of county commissioners of at least two counties may levy a tax ad valorem on all taxable property in their respective counties at a rate not to exceed 5 cents per $100 of the assessed valuation of each county to pay the costs of operating a regional facility.

2. Counties that levy a tax ad valorem pursuant to subsection 1 may enter into an interlocal agreement or interlocal contract to create an administrative entity to operate a regional facility.

3. The revenue of a tax collected pursuant to this section must be remitted on the first day of the first month of each calendar quarter to:

(a) If the regional facility is operated by a county, the treasurer of the county; or

(b) If the regional facility is operated by an administrative entity, the administrative entity.

4. By the end of each fiscal year, the board of county commissioners of each county that levies a tax pursuant to this section must determine the rate of tax required to produce revenue in an amount which is sufficient to pay the operating costs of the regional facility for the ensuing fiscal year. When calculating a rate pursuant to this section, the board of county commissioners of each county shall consider the amount of money remaining in the fund created pursuant to NRS 354.59819, if such a fund is created, unless the amount of money remaining in the fund is 10 percent or less of the revenue deposited for the current fiscal year.
