Payment of taxes on parcel of real property that is part of larger parcel upon which taxes are delinquent: Procedure; receipt.
Nev. Rev. Stat. § 361.790
in effect1. Whenever a person has acquired a legal, equitable, security or vendees interest in a parcel of real property, which is a part of a larger parcel upon which there are delinquent taxes, and the person offers to tender to the county treasurer, in the county where the real estate is assessed, his or her prorated share of the tax on the larger parcel, covering the parcel in which the person has acquired an interest, then the county treasurer shall make a report of the offer to the board of county commissioners of the county.
2. The board of county commissioners shall then examine the report of the county treasurer, and request a report from the county assessor as to the relative values of each parcel together with such other evidence as may be presented in connection therewith. If, after reviewing the report and evidence, the board of county commissioners is satisfied that the person offering to tender payment of the taxes due has a legal or beneficial interest in the smaller parcel only, it shall:
(a) Determine what proportion of the assessment and tax on the entire parcel affected are attributable to the smaller parcel.
(b) Enter an order in the minutes of the board, directing:
(1) Each officer who has custody of the tax or assessment roll for the year for which the offer to tender has been made and for each subsequent year to divide and prorate the assessment and tax accordingly.
(2) The county treasurer to accept the prorated tax when tendered and apply it to the proper parcel. If the smaller parcel has, at any time prior thereto, been conveyed to the county treasurer pursuant to NRS 361.585 , the board shall enter a further order directing the county treasurer to issue and deliver a deed conveying the property to the person who has tendered the tax upon payment to the county treasurer of the cost, penalties and interest chargeable against the prorated tax for each fiscal period for which the tax remains unpaid, until the time of conveyance.
(3) The county assessor to assess each parcel separately thereafter.
(c) Direct the clerk of the board to mail a copy of the order to the person offering to tender payment.
3. If the board of county commissioners issues the orders pursuant to subsection 2, the county treasurer shall issue a receipt to the person when he or she tenders payment of taxes. The receipt is conclusive evidence for the payment of all taxes assessed against the particular parcel for which the payment of tax is tendered, and is a complete defense to any action for taxes due on the parcel which may be brought for the period covered by the receipt.
4. Each county assessor receiving a request for a report as provided for in subsection 2 shall submit the report to the board of county commissioners within 30 days after receipt of the request.
