Nevada Revised Statutes Title 48. Water § 543.280. Protests against organization of district

1. Any taxpaying elector within the district may, on or before the date fixed, protest against the establishment of such district, in writing, which protest must be filed with the county clerk.

2. If, at or before the time fixed in the initiating ordinance and notice, written protest is filed, signed by 51 percent or more of the taxpaying electors within the proposed district, the district must not be established.

3. If any written protests are filed and the board of county commissioners determines that the protests so filed represent less than 51 percent of the taxpaying electors in the district, the board of county commissioners may proceed with the creation of the district. If the board of county commissioners does so proceed, the ordinance of the board of county commissioners creating the district, for which provision is made in NRS 543.170 to 543.830, inclusive, must contain a recital as to the percentage of protest and that recital is binding and conclusive for all purposes.
