1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 37.270 , any real property, interest
therein or improvement thereon which has been acquired in accordance with the
provisions of this chapter or purchased under the threat of eminent domain
proceedings by an association, commission, corporation, partnership or
political subdivision other than a county, incorporated city or regional
transportation commission created pursuant to NRS 277A.170 may be disposed of as
surplus by that entity only in accordance with the provisions of this section.
2. The governing body of the entity
desiring to dispose of the property pursuant to this section must first adopt a
resolution declaring that the property is no longer required for the purposes
for which it was acquired or for other reasonable public use.
3. The property, interest or improvement
disposed of pursuant to this section must be sold by the entity to the highest
bidder bidding for the property, either at public auction or by sealed bids,
the notice and terms of which must be published in a newspaper of general
circulation in the county where the property is situated at least once not less
than 15 nor more than 45 days before the sale. When, in the opinion of the
governing body of the entity, the property cannot be sold by means of public
auction or sealed bids without working an undue hardship upon a property owner
either as a result of a severance of that owners property or a denial of
access to a public street or highway, the governing body may first offer the
property to that owner at a price determined by the governing body to be in the
best interest of the corporation, partnership, association, commission or
political subdivision.
4. If property is disposed of pursuant to
this section, it is conclusively presumed in favor of any purchaser for value
and without notice of any such real property, interest therein or improvement
thereon conveyed pursuant to this section that the entity disposing of it acted
within its lawful authority in acquiring and disposing of the property, and
that the officers thereof acted within their lawful authority in executing any
conveyance vesting title in the purchaser. All such conveyances must be
quitclaim in nature and must not carry any warranty of title.
