318.510 Â Surrender and transfer of property and money; collection and disposition of taxes and special assessments.
     1.  All property and all funds remaining in the treasury of any district must be:
     (a) Surrendered and transferred to the county in which the district exists and become a part of the general fund of the county, if the district is dissolved;
     (b) Transferred to the governmental unit which assumes its obligations and functions, if the district is merged; or
     (c) Transferred to the consolidated governmental unit, if the district is consolidated.
     2.  All outstanding and unpaid tax sales and levies and all special assessment liens of a dissolved district are valid and remain a lien against the property against which they are assessed or levied until paid, subject to the limitations of liens provided by general law. Taxes and special assessments paid after dissolution must be placed in the general fund of the county in which the property was assessed.
     3.  Except as otherwise provided in NRS 318.508, the board of county commissioners has the same power to enforce the collection of all special assessments and outstanding tax sales of the district as the district had if it had not been dissolved, merged or consolidated.
     4.  If any area comprising the district or portion thereof is annexed to a city or town within 6 months from the effective date of the dissolution ordinance, a pro rata share of all such property and funds must be transferred to the municipality.
     5.  If any area comprising the district or portion thereof is not annexed to a city or town within 6 months from the effective date of the dissolution ordinance, the board of county commissioners shall pay to the owners of property located within the former district pro rata shares of the money remaining in the treasury of the district, and an amount of money equal to the value of any property which is not used for the benefit of the area formerly comprising the district. The board of county commissioners may, before paying such money, apply a proportionate amount of such payment to any special assessments which are due.
