2020 Nevada Revised Statutes
Chapter 361 - Property Tax
NRS 361.767 - Assessment of personal property that was not assessed or was underassessed.
1. If the county assessor determines that certain personal property was not assessed, the assessor may assess the property based upon its taxable value in the year in which it was not assessed.
2. If the county assessor determines that certain personal property was underassessed because it was incorrectly reported by the owner, the assessor may assess the property based upon its taxable value in the year in which it was underassessed. He or she may then send an additional tax bill for an amount which represents the difference between the reported value and the taxable value for each year.
3. The assessments provided for in subsections 1 and 2 may be made at any time within 3 years after the end of the fiscal year in which the taxes would have been due. The tax bill must specify the fiscal year for which the tax is due and the applicable rate and whether it is for property which was not assessed or for property which was underassessed.
4. If property is not assessed or is underassessed because the owner submitted an incorrect written statement or failed to submit a written statement required pursuant to subsection 1 of NRS 361.265, there must be added to the taxes due a penalty in the amount of 20 percent of the tax for each year the property was not assessed or was underassessed. The county assessor may waive this penalty if he or she finds extenuating circumstances sufficient to justify the waiver.
