NV Rev Stat § 271.625 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 271 - Local Improvements|NRS 271.625 - Action by municipality for collection and enforcement of delinquent assessment or installment.

  1. Irrespective of which county or municipal officer has been directed to collect and enforce assessments, any municipality may proceed with the collection or enforcement of any delinquent installment, or the entire assessment if the municipality has exercised its option to cause the whole amount of principal to become due and payable, by an action brought in the district court in and for the county in which the municipality is located. It is not necessary to bring a separate suit for each piece or parcel of property delinquent, but all or any part of the property delinquent under any single assessment roll or assessment district may be proceeded against in the same action, and any or all of the owners or persons interested in any of the property may be joined as parties defendant in the action to foreclose, and any and all liens for delinquent assessments or installments may be foreclosed in the proceedings.  2. The proceedings shall be tried before the court without a jury. In any such proceeding, it is sufficient to allege the passage of the ordinance for creating the district, the making of the improvement, the levying of assessments, the date of delinquency of the assessment or installment, and that it was not wholly paid prior to the delinquency or at all. The assessment roll and assessment ordinance, or authenticated copies thereof, are prima facie evidence of the regularity and legality of the proceedings connected therewith, and the burden of proof is upon the defendants.  3. In any action where the owners or parties interested in any particular tract included in the suit suffer a default, the court may enter judgment of foreclosure and sale as to those parties’ property and order execution thereon, and the sale may proceed as to the remaining defendants and property. The judgment of the court shall specify separately the amount of the assessment or installment, with interest, penalty and collection costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, chargeable to the several tracts in the proceedings. The judgment has the effect of a separate judgment, and any appeal shall not invalidate or delay it except as to property which is the subject of the appeal. Judgment may be entered as to any one or more tracts or parcels of land involved, and the court may retain jurisdiction of the case as to the balance.  4. All proceedings supplemental to the judgment, including appeal, period of redemption, sale and the issuance of a deed, shall be conducted in accordance with the law relating to property sold upon foreclosure of mortgages or liens upon real property, except that there shall be no personal liability upon the defendants for any deficiency in the proceeds of such sale.

NV Rev Stat § 271.630 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 271 - Local Improvements|NRS 271.630 - Foreclosure actions and proceedings against municipality by holders of bonds.

  1. If any assessment or installment thereof is not promptly collected or enforced, then any bondholder may file and prosecute a foreclosure action in the name of the municipality. Any bondholder may also proceed against such municipality to protect and enforce the rights of the bondholders under the Consolidated Local Improvements Law, or under any charter adopting the provisions hereof or referring hereto for a method of collecting assessments, or any ordinance required or permitted thereunder, by suit, action or special proceedings in equity or at law, either for the appointment of a receiver or for the specific performance of any provisions contained herein or in such ordinance or in an award of execution of any power granted herein or in such ordinance for the enforcement of any proper, legal or equitable remedy as such bondholder or bondholders may deem most effectual to protect and enforce the rights aforesaid.  2. All such proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained for the equal benefit of all holders of the bonds then outstanding. The failure of the bondholders so to foreclose such delinquent assessments, or so to proceed against the municipality, or both, shall not relieve the municipality or any of its officers, agents or employees of any liability for its failure so to foreclose such delinquent assessments.
