§ 268.608. Methods used in determining population, degree of subdivision and use of land; estimates to be accepted by district court
In determining the population and the degree of land subdivision and use for the purposes
of meeting the requirements of NRS 268.580 , the annexing city shall use methods calculated to provide reasonably accurate results.
In determining whether the standards set forth in NRS 268.580 have been met on appeal to the district court, as provided in NRS 268.604 , the court shall accept the estimates of the municipality as to: 1. Population, if the estimate is based upon the number of dwelling units in the area,
multiplied by the average family size in the county in which the annexed territory
is situate, as determined by the last federal decennial census; or if it is based
upon a new enumeration carried out under reasonable rules and regulations by the annexing
city; but the court shall not accept such estimates if the applicant demonstrates
that such estimates are in error in the amount of 20 percent or more. 2. Total area, if the estimate is based upon an actual survey, or upon county tax
maps or records, or upon aerial photographs or upon some other reasonably reliable
map used for official purposes by any governmental agency, unless the applicant demonstrates
that such estimates are in error in the amount of 20 percent or more. 3. The degree of land subdivision and use, if the estimates are based upon an actual
survey, or upon county tax maps or records, or upon aerial photographs or upon some
other reasonably reliable source unless the applicant demonstrates that such estimates
are in error in the amount of 20 percent or more.
