Nev. Rev. Stat. § 361.355 — Complaints of overvaluation or excessive valuation by reason of undervaluation or nonassessment of other property
NRS 361.355 Complaints of overvaluation or excessive valuation by reason of
undervaluation or nonassessment of other property.
1. Any person, firm, company, association
or corporation, claiming overvaluation or excessive valuation of its real or
secured personal property in the State, whether assessed by the Nevada Tax
Commission or by the county assessor or assessors, by reason of undervaluation
for taxation purposes of the property of any other person, firm, company,
association or corporation within any county of the State or by reason of any
such property not being so assessed, shall appear before the county board of
equalization of the county or counties where the undervalued or nonassessed
property is located and make complaint concerning it and submit proof thereon.
The complaint and proof must show the name of the owner or owners, the
location, the description, and the taxable value of the property claimed to be
undervalued or nonassessed.
2. Any person, firm, company, association
or corporation wishing to protest the valuation of real or personal property
placed on the unsecured tax roll which is assessed between May 1 and December
15 may appeal the assessment on or before the following January 15, or the
first business day following January 15 if it falls on a Saturday, Sunday or
holiday, to the county board of equalization.
3. The county board of equalization
forthwith shall examine the proof and all data and evidence submitted by the
complainant, together with any evidence submitted thereon by the county
assessor or any other person. If the county board of equalization determines
that the complainant has just cause for making the complaint it shall
immediately make such increase in valuation of the property complained of as
conforms to its taxable value, or cause the property to be placed on the
assessment roll at its taxable value, as the case may be, and make proper
equalization thereof.
4. Except as provided in subsection 5 and NRS 361.403 , any such person, firm,
company, association or corporation who fails to make a complaint and submit
proof to the county board of equalization of each county wherein it is claimed
property is undervalued or nonassessed as provided in this section, is not
entitled to file a complaint with, or offer proof concerning that undervalued
or nonassessed property to, the State Board of Equalization.
5. If the fact that there is such
undervalued or nonassessed property in any county has become known to the
complainant after the final adjournment of the county board of equalization of
that county for that year, the complainant may file the complaint on or before
March 10 with the State Board of Equalization and submit his or her proof as
provided in this section at a session of the State Board of Equalization, upon
complainant proving to the satisfaction of the State Board of Equalization he
or she had no knowledge of the undervalued or nonassessed property before the
final adjournment of the county board of equalization. If March 10 falls on a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the complaint may be filed on the next
business day. The State Board of Equalization shall proceed in the matter in
the same manner as provided in this section for a county board of equalization
in such a case, and cause its order thereon to be certified to the county
auditor with direction therein to change the assessment roll accordingly.
