Nevada § 37.110 - Ascertainment and assessment of damages

§ 37.110. Ascertainment and assessment of damages

The court, jury, commissioners or master must hear such legal testimony as may be

offered by any of the parties to the proceedings, and thereupon must ascertain and

assess: 1. The value of the property sought to be condemned and all improvements thereon pertaining

to the realty, and of each and every separate estate or interest therein; if it consists

of different parcels, the value of each parcel and of each estate or interest therein

shall be separately assessed. 2. If the property sought to be condemned constitutes only a part of a large parcel,

the damages which will accrue to the portion not sought to be condemned, by reason

of its severance from the portion sought to be condemned, and the construction of

the improvement in the manner proposed by the plaintiff. 3. If the property, though no part thereof is taken, will be damaged by the construction

of the proposed improvement, the amount of such damages. 4. Separately, how much the portion not sought to be condemned, and each estate or

interest therein, will be benefited, if at all, by the construction of the improvement

proposed by the plaintiff; and if the benefit shall be equal to the damages assessed,

under subsection 2 of this section, the owner of the parcel shall be allowed no compensation

except the value of the portion taken; but if the benefit shall be less than the

damages so assessed, the former shall be deducted from the latter, and the remainder

shall be the only damages allowed in addition to the value of the portion taken. 5. If the property sought to be condemned be for a railroad, the cost of good and

sufficient fences along the line of such railroad between such railroad and other

adjoining lands of the defendant; and the costs of cattle guards where fences may

cross the line of such railroads. As far as practicable, compensation must be assessed for each source of damages separately.
