NRS278.468. Duties of preparer of parcel map upon approval; duties of county recorder.

      1.  If a parcel map is approved or deemed approved pursuant to NRS 278.464, the preparer of the map shall:

      (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, cause the approved map to be recorded in the office of the county recorder within 1 year after the date the map was approved or deemed approved, unless the governing body establishes by ordinance a longer period, not to exceed 2 years, for recording the map. The map must be accompanied by a written statement signed by the treasurer of the county in which the land to be divided is located indicating that all property taxes on the land for the fiscal year have been paid.

      (b) Pay a fee of $17 for the first sheet of the map plus $10 for each additional sheet to the county recorder for filing and indexing.

      2.  In a county whose population is less than 100,000, if the parcel map shows an area totaling 50 acres or more that is subject to a conservation easement, the preparer of the map shall cause the approved map to be recorded in the office of the county recorder within 3 years after the date the map was approved or deemed approved, unless the governing body grants an extension of time for recording the map, which may not exceed 1 year. As used in this subsection, “conservation easement” means an easement that permanently preserves or protects open space, a floodplain or agricultural land from being parceled, subdivided or otherwise developed in a manner incompatible with the preservation or protection of the open space, floodplain or agricultural land.

      3.  Upon receipt of a parcel map, the county recorder shall file the map in a suitable place. The county recorder shall keep proper indexes of parcel maps by the name of grant, tract, subdivision or United States subdivision.

      4.  A county recorder who records a parcel map pursuant to this section shall, within 7 working days after he or she records the parcel map, provide to the county assessor at no charge:

      (a) A duplicate copy of the parcel map and any supporting documents; or
