NRS361.450. Liens for taxes: Attachment; superiority; expiration of lien on mobile or manufactured home.

      1.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, every tax levied under the provisions of or authority of this chapter is a perpetual lien against the property assessed until the tax and any penalty charges and interest which may accrue thereon are paid. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other specific statute, such a lien and a lien for unpaid assessments imposed pursuant to chapter 271 of NRS is superior to all other liens, claims, encumbrances and titles on the property, including, without limitation, interests secured pursuant to the provisions of chapter 104 of NRS, whether or not the lien was filed or perfected first in time.

      2.  Except as otherwise provided in this subsection and NRS 361.739, the lien attaches on July 1 of the year for which the taxes are levied, upon all property then within the county. The lien attaches upon all migratory property, as described in NRS 361.505, on the day it is moved into the county. If real and personal property are assessed against the same owner, a lien attaches upon such real property also for the tax levied upon the personal property within the county. A lien for taxes on personal property also attaches upon real property assessed against the same owner in any other county of the State from the date on which a certified copy of any unpaid property assessment is filed for record with the county recorder in the county in which the real property is situated.

      3.  All liens for taxes levied under this chapter which have already attached to a mobile or manufactured home expire on the date when the mobile or manufactured home is sold, except the liens for personal property taxes due in the county in which the mobile or manufactured home was situate at the time of sale, for any part of the 12 months immediately preceding the date of sale.

      4.  All special taxes levied for city, town, school, road or other purposes throughout the different counties of this State are a lien on the property so assessed, and must be assessed and collected by the same officer at the same time and in the same manner as the state and county taxes are assessed and collected.
