1. In every case in which a notice of lien is recorded against two or more separate buildings or mining claims that are owned by the same person and that are located on separate legal parcels that existed at the commencement of construction, the lien claimant must, at the time of recording the notice of lien, designate the lienable amount due on each building or mining claim.
2. The lien of a lien claimant only applies to the lienable amount designated in the notice of lien, plus all amounts that may be awarded by the court pursuant to NRS 108.237, as against other creditors having liens by judgment or otherwise, upon the buildings or mining claims. However, the lienable amount chargeable to the interest of the owner in each building must be the total amount of the lien claimant’s notice of lien, without regard to the proportionate amount designated to each separate building in the lien claimant’s notice of lien, plus all amounts that may be awarded by the court pursuant to NRS 108.237, but upon the trial thereof, the court may, where it deems it equitable to do so, distribute the lien equitably as among the several buildings involved.
3. If a lien claimant fails to designate in the notice of lien the amount due on each separate building as provided in subsection 1, the lien claimant’s notice of lien must be postponed to the notices of lien of other lien claimants and other encumbrancers for value who have designated the amount due on each building or mining claim but must not be inferior to any rights or interests of the owner. For purposes of this subsection, a lien claimant’s lien must not be postponed to other liens or encumbrances if the lien claimant’s designation among the parcels was estimated by the lien claimant in good faith or was based upon a pro rata division of the total lienable amount.
