Sections:

The purpose of this chapter shall be held to be one of the minimum requirements adopted to regulate the sale or lease of real property owned by the county, so that such transactions comply with the legislative mandate of Assembly Bill No. 312, as amended by Senate Bill No. 394 of the 73rd Session of the Nevada Legislature. This chapter does not create a legal right, including but not limited to a property or other constitutional right, to be placed upon the established appraisal lists or to be awarded a contract for professional services.

(Ord. 2006-6 § 1 (part), 2006)

The board of supervisors shall, when offering any real property for sale or lease:

1.

Obtain 2 independent appraisals of the real property before selling or leasing it. The appraisals must have been prepared not more than 6 months before the date on which the real property is offered for sale or lease.

2.

Select the 2 independent appraisers from the list of appraisers established pursuant to this chapter.

3.

Verify the qualifications of each appraiser selected pursuant to paragraph (2). The determination of the board of supervisors as to the qualifications of the appraiser is conclusive.

This ordinance applies unless otherwise provided by state law or required by federal law. See NRS 244.2795(1).

Prior to the sale or lease of any real property owned by the county, the director of real property management and the directors of such other county departments that may be authorized by the board to negotiate to sell or lease county-owned real property (collectively and individually, "the director") shall obtain 2 independent appraisals of the real property. Each appraisal shall be prepared by appraisers selected from a list established pursuant to Sections 20.01.050 and 20.01.060 below. The selection and appointment of appraisers shall be according to the procedure established pursuant to Section 20.01.070 below.

3.

Review and compile a list of appraisers responding to the letter and organize the list at random.

The director shall present each such list to the board of supervisors for approval.

(Ord. 2006-6 § 1 (part), 2006)

The director shall annually, or at other times deemed necessary:

3.

Review and compile a new list of appraisers comprised of the existing appraisers and the new appraisers responding to the letter and organize the list at random.

The list may be amended to remove a name at any time upon written request from an appraiser; upon information received from the state of Nevada, Department of Business and Industry, Real Estate Division, that an appraiser is no longer active or that some other basis exists for removal; or upon a determination by the board that a basis exists for removal.
