NRS 362.170 - Appropriation to county of amount of tax, penalties and interest attributable to extractive operations in county; apportionment by county treasurer; Department to report amount received as tax upon net proceeds of geothermal resources.


1. There is hereby appropriated to each county the total of the amounts obtained by multiplying, for each extractive operation situated within the county, the net proceeds of that operation and any royalties paid by that operation, by the combined rate of tax ad valorem, excluding any rate levied by the State of Nevada, for property at that site, plus a pro rata share of any penalties and interest collected by the Department for the late payment of taxes distributed to the county. The Department shall report to the State Controller on or before May 25 of each year the amount appropriated to each county, as calculated for each operation from the final statement made in February of that year for the preceding calendar year. The State Controller shall distribute all money due to a county on or before May 30 of each year.
2. The county treasurer shall apportion to each local government or other local entity an amount calculated by:
(a) Determining the total of the amounts obtained by multiplying, for each extractive operation situated within its jurisdiction, the net proceeds of that operation and any royalty payments paid by that operation, by the rate levied on behalf of that local government or other local entity;
(b) Adding to the amount determined pursuant to paragraph (a) a pro rata share of any penalties and interest collected by the Department for the late payment of taxes distributed to that local government or local entity; and
(c) Subtracting from the amount determined pursuant to paragraph (b) a commission of 5 percent, of which 3 percent must be deposited in the county general fund and 2 percent must be accounted for separately in the account for the acquisition and improvement of technology in the office of the county assessor created pursuant to NRS 250.085.
3. The amounts apportioned pursuant to subsection 2, including, without limitation, the amount retained by the county and excluding the percentage commission, must be applied to the uses for which each levy was authorized in the same proportion as the rate of each levy bears to the total rate.
4. Any amount apportioned pursuant to subsection 2 for a county school district for any purpose other than capital projects or debt service for the county school district must be paid over to the State Treasurer to be deposited to the credit of the State Education Fund.
5. The Department shall report to the State Controller on or before May 25 of each year the amount received as tax upon the net proceeds of geothermal resources which equals the product of those net proceeds multiplied by the rate of tax levied ad valorem by the State of Nevada.
