§ 154.150. Petition to acquire title to escheated property
1. A person desiring to acquire title to any individual item or real property which
has escheated to the State must proceed by petition to the Director of the State Department
of Conservation and Natural Resources on forms obtainable at the office of the Director
and in the manner described in NRS 154.150 to 154.180 , inclusive. 2. A petition for unimproved real property outside of approved townsites may not be
accepted for a parcel of land less than the smallest legal subdivision (40 acres)
unless the area in its entirety is less than 40 acres. In such a case, that portion of the subdivision must be described and disposed of
on one petition unless, in the discretion of the Director of the State Department
of Conservation and Natural Resources, it is found that the remaining portion could
be disposed of within a reasonable length of time, and would not become an isolated
tract. The Director may then accept an application for a portion of the tract, if a survey
is made and a plat submitted on tracing cloth, 24 inches by 32 inches, on which is
set forth an accurate description of the property by metes and bounds, with at least
one corner of the property tied to a point on the United States public land surveys.
