Chapter 278C - Tax Increment Areas
NRS 278C.150 - Designation of area; creation of special account; authority to contract with property owner for reimbursement of owner’s costs; certain property to be excluded from area.


1. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2, 3 and 4, the governing body of a municipality, on the behalf and in the name of the municipality, may designate a tax increment area comprising any specially benefited zone within the municipality designated for the purpose of creating a special account for the payment of bonds or securities issued or loans, money advanced or indebtedness incurred to defray the cost of an undertaking, including, without limitation, the condemnation of property for an undertaking, as supplemented by the Local Government Securities Law, except as otherwise provided in this chapter. The governing body of a municipality, on behalf and in the name of the municipality, may enter into a contract with any property owner in a tax increment area agreeing to pay tax increment revenues from the tax increment account created by NRS 278C.250 to such property owner for costs incurred by such owner in connection with an undertaking. Such a contract constitutes an indebtedness of the municipality for the purposes of this chapter but is not a security for the purposes of NRS 278C.280.
2. The right-of-way property of a railroad company that is under the jurisdiction of the Surface Transportation Board must not be included in a tax increment area unless the inclusion of the property is mutually agreed upon by the governing body and the railroad company.
3. A tax increment area may not include a property that is, at the time the boundaries of the tax increment area are created, included within a redevelopment area previously established pursuant to the laws of this State.
4. The taxable property of a tax increment area must not be included in any subsequently created tax increment area until at least 50 years after the effective date of creation of the first tax increment area in which the property was included.
