1. The county assessor shall enter on the assessment roll the valuation based on open-space use until the property becomes disqualified for open-space use assessment by:
(a) Sale or transfer to an owner making it exempt from ad valorem property taxation;
(b) Removal of the open-space use assessment by the assessor, with the concurrence of the board, upon discovery that the property is no longer in the open-space use;
(c) If the open-space use assessment is based on the designation and classification of the property pursuant to subsection 1 of NRS 361A.170, the cessation of the use of the property for golfing or golfing practice, except for:
(1) A seasonal closure of the property to such use;
(2) A temporary closure of the property for maintenance or repairs; or
(3) A temporary closure of the property, upon notification of the county assessor, for not more than 12 months for any other purpose that is incidental to such use or necessary for the continuation of such use; or
(d) If the open-space use assessment is based on a designation or classification adopted pursuant to subsection 3 of NRS 361A.170:
(1) Notification by the applicant to the assessor to remove the open-space use assessment; or
(2) Failure to file a new application as provided in NRS 361A.190.
2. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a) of subsection 1, the sale or transfer to a new owner or transfer by reason of death of a former owner does not operate to disqualify open-space real property from open-space use assessment so long as the property continues to be used exclusively for an open-space use. If the open-space use assessment is based on a designation or classification adopted pursuant to subsection 3 of NRS 361A.170, the new owner must apply for open-space use assessment in the manner provided in NRS 361A.190.
3. Whenever open-space real property becomes disqualified under subsection 1, the county assessor shall send a written notice of disqualification by certified mail with return receipt requested to each owner of record. The notice must contain the assessed value for the ensuing fiscal year.
