Terms Used In Nevada Revised Statutes 320.110

  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • county: includes Carson City. See Nevada Revised Statutes 0.033
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Fiscal year: The fiscal year is the accounting period for the government. For the federal government, this begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; for example, fiscal year 2006 begins on October 1, 2005 and ends on September 30, 2006.
  • Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
  • Real property: Land, and all immovable fixtures erected on, growing on, or affixed to the land.

(b) Apportion that cost among the owners of real property by parcel number within the district:

(2) Using a method of apportionment that is fair and equitable and is approved by the board of county commissioners of the county where the district is located;

(c) Submit a written report to the board of county commissioners specifying the total cost determined pursuant to paragraph (a) and the amount apportioned for each parcel of land within the district pursuant to paragraph (b); and

(d) Submit a written report to the board of county commissioners:

2.  Upon receipt of the report, the board of county commissioners shall collect the assessments specified in the report for the next ensuing fiscal year.
