NRS 244.157 Improvements: County’s powers same as those of general improvement district.

1. Subject to the conditions imposed in subsection 2, the board of county commissioners of any county of this state may exercise any of the powers in any unincorporated area within its county that a board of trustees of any general improvement district, if organized, would be permitted to exercise pursuant to the provisions of chapter 318 of NRS.

2. A board of county commissioners may exercise the powers authorized under subsection 1 only upon compliance with the same procedures that a board of trustees of a general improvement district would be required to follow for the same class of improvements within an improvement district. This subsection does not apply if the exercise of powers authorized under subsection 1 is required by a federal law or a regulation issued thereunder.
