Fix and collect a license tax upon all professions, trades or business within the town not specified in paragraph (a).2.
No license to engage in business as a seller of tangible personal property may be granted unless the applicant for the license presents written evidence that:(a)
The Department of Taxation has issued or will issue a permit for this activity, and this evidence clearly identifies the business by name; or(b)
Another regulatory agency of the State has issued or will issue a license required for this activity.3.
Any license tax levied for the purposes of NRS 244A.597 to 244A.655, inclusive, constitutes a lien upon the real and personal property of the business upon which the tax was levied until the tax is paid. The lien must be enforced in the same manner as liens for ad valorem taxes on real and personal property. The town board or other governing body of the unincorporated town may delegate the power to enforce such liens to the county fair and recreation board.4.
The governing body or the county fair and recreation board may agree with the Department of Taxation for the continuing exchange of information concerning taxpayers.5.
The town board or board of county commissioners shall not require a person to obtain a license or pay a license tax on the sole basis that the person is a professional. As used in this subsection, “professional” means a person who:(a)
Holds a license, certificate, registration, permit or similar type of authorization issued by a regulatory body as defined in NRS 622.060, or who is regulated pursuant to the Nevada Supreme Court Rules; and(b)
Practices his or her profession for any type of compensation as an employee.6.
The town board or board of county commissioners shall not license or otherwise allow a person to operate a business that allows marijuana, as defined in NRS 453.096, or any product containing marijuana, to be consumed on the premises of the business.
