1. When any assessment is so levied by
ordinance against property, including, without limitation, property owned by a
person or property owned by this State or any political subdivision of this
State, and is payable, the governing body shall direct:
(a) The clerk to report to the county assessor a
description of such tracts as are contained in the roll, with the amount of the
assessment levied upon each and the name of the owner or occupant against whom
the assessment was made.
(b) The municipal treasurer or the county
treasurer to collect the several sums so assessed.
2. If the municipal treasurer has been
directed to collect unpaid assessments, the amount so levied in the assessment
roll against property, including, without limitation, property owned by a
person or property owned by this State or any political subdivision of this
State, shall be collected and enforced, both before and after delinquency, in
the manner provided in NRS 271.540 to 271.625 , inclusive, except as otherwise
provided in the ordinance levying the assessments.
3. If the county treasurer has been
directed to collect unpaid assessments, the amount so levied in the assessment
roll against property, including, without limitation, property owned by a
person or property owned by this State or any political subdivision of this
State, shall be collected and enforced, both before and after delinquency, by
the county treasurer and other county officers with the other taxes in the
general assessment roll of the county, as provided by law and in the same
manner, except as otherwise provided in the ordinance levying the assessments.
4. Such amounts shall continue to be a
lien upon the tracts assessed until paid, as provided in NRS 271.420 .
5. When such amount is collected, it shall
be credited to the proper funds.
6. The assessment roll and the certified
ordinance levying the assessment shall be prima facie evidence of the
regularity of the proceedings in making the assessment and of the right to
recover judgment therefor.
7. The ordinance authorizing the levy of
assessments must allow the governing body to authorize the treasurer to reduce
or waive for good cause the collection of any penalties assessed pursuant to
subsection 4 of NRS 271.415 and any interest
incurred pursuant to NRS 271.585 . If the
ordinance does not authorize such a reduction or waiver, the governing body
may, by resolution, grant authority to the treasurer to reduce or waive the
collection of any interest incurred pursuant to NRS 271.585 relating to property for which
the municipal clerk is the custodian of the certificate for the property
pursuant to NRS 271.575 if the governing
body makes a finding that the reduction or waiver will not cause the
improvement district to have insufficient money to pay any principal and
interest for the improvement district that are payable from the assessments.
