1. An owner of property which has received an agricultural or open-space use assessment:
(a) Must pay the full amount of deferred taxes calculated pursuant to NRS 361A.280 for any property for which a final map will be recorded pursuant to NRS 278.460 before the date on which the map is recorded, if the existence or recording of the map will result in the conversion of any portion of the property to a higher use.
(b) In all other cases may, before the conversion of any portion of the property to a higher use, pay the amount of deferred taxes which would be due upon the conversion of that property pursuant to NRS 361A.280.
2. An owner who desires to pay the deferred taxes must request, in writing, the county assessor to estimate the amount of the deferred taxes which would be due at the time of conversion. After receiving such a request, the county assessor shall estimate the amount of the deferred taxes due for the next property tax statement and report the amount to the owner.
3. An owner who voluntarily pays the deferred taxes may appeal the valuations and calculations upon which the deferred taxes were based in the manner provided in NRS 361A.273.
4. If a parcel that has been created after the secured tax roll has been closed is converted to a higher use, the assessor must change the roll to reflect the changes in the parcel or parcels and assess the new parcel or parcels at taxable value for the following fiscal year. The deferred tax must be assessed pursuant to NRS 361A.280.
