NRS 387.331 - Imposition of tax in school district whose population is less than 55,000; limitation on amount; deposit of proceeds.

1. The tax on residential construction authorized by this section is a specified amount which must be the same for each:
(a) Lot for a mobile home;
(b) Residential dwelling unit; and
(c) Suite in an apartment house,
imposed on the privilege of constructing apartment houses and residential dwelling units and developing lots for mobile homes.
2. The board of trustees of any school district whose population is less than 55,000 may request that the board of county commissioners of the county in which the school district is located impose a tax on residential construction in the school district to construct, remodel and make additions to school buildings. Whenever the board of trustees takes that action, it shall notify the board of county commissioners and shall specify the areas of the county to be served by the buildings to be erected or enlarged.
3. If the board of county commissioners decides that the tax should be imposed, it shall notify the Nevada Tax Commission. If the Commission approves, the board of county commissioners may then impose the tax, whose specified amount must not exceed $1,600.
4. The board shall collect the tax so imposed, in the areas of the county to which it applies, and may require that administrative costs, not to exceed 1 percent, be paid from the amount collected.
5. The money collected must be deposited with the county treasurer in the school district’s fund for capital projects to be held and expended in the same manner as other money deposited in that fund.
