Nevada Revised Statutes Section 361.230 - Revenue and Taxation

Minimum valuation of patented land and land held under state land contract.

1. No patented land of any description in the State of Nevada owned by any individual, partnership, association, estate, corporation or otherwise, and no land held under any state land contract, shall be assessed for less than $1.25 per acre by the county assessors of the various counties.

2. If the county board of equalization shall ascertain that any land within its county has been assessed upon a valuation of less than $1.25 per acre, or has not been assessed at all, the board shall notify the county assessor immediately to pay into the county treasury the taxes due on such land, in such a sum as will yield the full amount of taxes due upon such land upon its true value, which valuation shall not be less than $1.25 per acre. If a county assessor fails to pay such taxes within 10 days after such notification by the county board of equalization, the district attorney shall file and prosecute diligently a suit against the county assessor and his surety or sureties on his official bond for the amount of such taxes.
