NRS555.550. Submission of plans by landowners after promulgation of regulations; performance of necessary work by rodent control officer on failure by landowner; charges as lien.

      1.  Within 60 days after regulations have been promulgated for any rodent control district, each landowner in the district shall file with the board of directors:

      (a) A sketch of the landowner’s land; and

      (b) A plan for the control of rodents on the landowner’s land.

      2.  If any landowner fails to submit the plan as required by subsection 1, the rodent control officer shall prepare such a plan.

      3.  The board of directors shall consider each plan submitted by a landowner or prepared by the rodent control officer and shall, consistently with the regulations for the district:

      (a) Approve the plan; or

      (b) Require specified changes in the plan.

      4.  If any landowner fails to carry out the plan of rodent control for the landowner’s land as approved or modified by the board of directors, the rodent control officer may, after giving 10 days’ notice in writing to the owner by registered or certified mail directed to the landowner’s last known address, enter upon the land, perform any work necessary to carry out the plan, and charge such work against the landowner. Any such charge, until paid, is a lien against the land affected coequal with a lien for unpaid general taxes, and may be enforced in the same manner.
