§ 354.5982. Limitation upon revenue from taxes ad valorem: Authority to exceed pursuant to vote of people; addition of imposed costs

1. The local government may exceed the limit imposed by NRS 354.59811 upon the calculated receipts from taxes ad valorem only if its governing body proposes

to its registered voters an additional property tax, and the proposal is approved

by a majority of the voters voting on the question at a general election, a general

city election or a special election called for that purpose. The question submitted to the voters must contain the rate of the proposed additional

property tax stated in dollars and cents per $100 assessed valuation, the purpose

of the proposed additional property tax, the duration of the proposed additional property

tax and an estimate established by the governing body of the increase in the amount

of property taxes that an owner of a new home with a fair market value of $100,000

will pay per year as a result of the passage of the question. The duration of the levy must not exceed 30 years. The governing body may discontinue the levy before it expires and may not thereafter

reimpose it in whole or in part without following the procedure required for its original

imposition. 2. A special election may be held: (a) At any time, including, without limitation, on the date of a primary city election

or a primary state election, if the governing body of the local government determines,

by a unanimous vote, that an emergency exists; or (b) On the second Tuesday after the first Monday in June of an odd-numbered year,

whether or not the local government also holds a general city election on that date. 3. The determination made by the governing body pursuant to subsection 2 that an emergency

exists is conclusive unless it is shown that the governing body acted with fraud or

a gross abuse of discretion. An action to challenge the determination made by the governing body must be commenced

within 15 days after the governing body's determination is final. As used in this subsection, “ emergency ” means any unexpected occurrence or combination of occurrences which requires immediate

action by the governing body of the local government to prevent or mitigate a substantial

financial loss to the local government or to enable the governing body to provide

an essential service to the residents of the local government. 4. To the allowed revenue from taxes ad valorem determined pursuant to NRS 354.59811 for a local government, the Executive Director of the Department of Taxation shall

add any amount approved by the Legislature for the cost to that local government of

any substantial program or expense required by legislative enactment.
