Section 375.030 - Payment of taxes, penalties and interest1. If any deed evidencing a transfer of title or land sale installment contract subject to the tax imposed by NRS 375.020 and 375.023 and, if applicable, NRS 375.026 is offered for recordation, the county recorder shall compute the amount of the tax due and shall collect that amount before acceptance of the deed for recordation.2. The buyer and seller are jointly and severally liable for the payment of the taxes imposed by NRS 375.020, 375.023 and 375.026 and any penalties and interest imposed pursuant to subsection 3. The escrow holder is not liable for the payment of the taxes imposed by NRS 375.020, 375.023 and 375.026 or any penalties or interest imposed pursuant to subsection 3.3. If, after recordation of the deed or land sale installment contract, the county recorder disallows an exemption that was claimed at the time the deed was recorded or through audit or otherwise determines that an additional amount of tax is due, the county recorder shall promptly notify the person who requested the recording of the deed or land sale installment contract and the buyer and seller of the additional amount of tax due. If the additional amount of tax is not paid within 30 days after the date the buyer and seller are notified, the county recorder shall impose a penalty of 10 percent of the additional amount due in addition to interest at the rate of 1 percent per month, or portion thereof, of the additional amount due calculated from the date of the original recordation of the deed or land sale installment contract on which the additional amount is due through the date on which the additional amount due, penalty and interest are paid to the county recorder.4. This section does not prohibit a buyer and seller from agreeing by contract or otherwise that one party or the other will be responsible for the payment of the tax due pursuant to this chapter, but such an agreement does not affect the ability of the county recorder to collect the tax and any penalties and interest from either the buyer or the seller.Added to NRS by 1967, 1760; A 1973, 212; 1981, 844; 1989, 1504; 1999, 1068; 2001, 1592; 2003, 3485; 2003, 20th Special Session, 171; 2009, 1111Added to NRS by 1967, 1760; A 1973, 212; 1981, 844; 1989, 1504; 1999, 1068; 2001, 1592; 2003, 3485; 2003, 20th Special Session, 171; 2009, 1111
