Nevada Code § 268.602

1. If, not earlier than 24 months after
the effective date of the annexation, and not later than 27 months after the
effective date of the annexation, any record owner of real property in the
annexed territory believes that the annexing city has failed to follow through
on its service plans, adopted under the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (d) of
subsection 4 of NRS 268.578 , with
respect to extensions of services to be made at the expense of the annexing
city, the property owner may apply to the district court having jurisdiction of
the annexing territory for a writ of mandamus to compel the extension of those
services.
2. The court may grant the relief prayed
for in the application if:
(a) The annexing city has not provided the
services set forth in its plan submitted under the provisions of paragraph (a)
of subsection 4 of NRS 268.578 , on
substantially the same basis and in the same manner as such services were
provided by the annexing city to the property owners and residents within the
remainder of the city on the effective date of the annexation; and
(b) At the time the writ is sought, the services
set forth in the plan submitted under the provisions of paragraph (a) of
subsection 4 of NRS 268.578 are still
being provided to the property owners and residents within the remainder of the
city on substantially the same basis and in the same manner as on the effective
date of the annexation.
3. The court may also grant the relief
prayed for in the application if:
(a) The plans submitted under the provisions of
paragraph (d) of subsection 4 of NRS 268.578 require the extension of any services into the annexed territory to be made at
the expense of the annexing city;
(b) Contracts have not been let and construction
has not begun; and
(c) The applicant demonstrates that the need
still exists for the extension of those services into the annexed territory.
4. If a writ is made permanent, the cost
in the action, including reasonable attorneys fees for the aggrieved person,
must be assessed against the annexing city.
