Nevada § 113.070 - Required disclosures by certain sellers relating to zoning classifications, designations in master plan regarding land use and general land uses described in master plan

§ 113.070. Required disclosures by certain sellers relating to zoning classifications, designations in master plan regarding land use and general land uses described in master plan

1. Before the initial purchaser of a residence signs a sales agreement or opens escrow,

whichever occurs earlier, the seller shall, by separate written document, disclose

to the initial purchaser the zoning classifications and the designations in the master

plan regarding land use adopted pursuant to chapter 278 of NRS , and the general land uses described therein, for the adjoining parcels of land.

The written document must contain a statement with the following language: Zoning classifications describe the land uses currently permitted on a parcel of land.

Designations in the master plan regarding land use describe the land uses that the

governing city or county proposes for a parcel of land. Zoning classifications and designations in the master plan regarding land use are

established and defined by local ordinances. If the zoning classification for a parcel of land is inconsistent with the designation

in the master plan regarding land use for the parcel, the possibility exists that

the zoning classification may be changed to be consistent with the designation in

the master plan regarding land use for the parcel. Additionally, the local ordinances that establish and define the various zoning classifications

and designations in the master plan regarding land use are also subject to change. 2. If the residence is located within a subdivision, the disclosure made pursuant

to subsection 1 must be made regarding all parcels of land adjoining the unit of the

subdivision in which the residence is located. If the residence is located on land divided by a parcel map and not located within

a subdivision, the disclosure must be made regarding all parcels of land adjoining

the parcel map. Such a disclosure must be made regardless of whether the adjoining parcels are owned

by the seller. The seller shall retain a copy of the disclosure document which has been signed by

the initial purchaser acknowledging the date of receipt by the initial purchaser of

the original document. 3. The information contained in the disclosure document required by subsection 1 must: (a) Be updated not less than once every 6 months, if the information is available

from the local government; (b) Advise the initial purchaser that the master plan is for the general, comprehensive

and long-term development of land in the area and that the designations in the master

plan regarding land use provide the most probable indication of future development

which may occur on the surrounding properties; (c) Advise the initial purchaser that the master plan and zoning ordinances and regulations

adopted pursuant to the master plan are subject to change; and (d) Provide the initial purchaser with instructions on how to obtain more current

information regarding zoning classifications and designations in the master plan regarding

land use. 4. As used in this section, “seller” means a person who sells or attempts to sell

any land or tract of land in this state which is divided or proposed to be divided

over any period into two or more lots, parcels, units or interests, including, but

not limited to, undivided interests, which are offered, known, designated or advertised

as a common unit by a common name or as a part of a common promotional plan of advertising

and sale.
