NRS 318.065
Protests against organization of district.

1.

Any person who owns property which is located within the district may, on or before the date fixed, protest against the establishment of such district, in writing, which protest shall be filed with the county clerk of such county.

2.

If, at or before the time fixed in the initiating ordinance and notice, written protest is filed, signed by a majority of the owners of property within such proposed district, the district shall not be established.

3.

If any written protests are filed and the board of county commissioners determines that the protests so filed represent less than a majority of the owners of property within the district, the board of county commissioners, in its discretion but subject to the limitation provided by NRS 318.070, may proceed with the creation of the district. If the board of county commissioners does so proceed, the ordinance of the board of county commissioners creating the district, for which provision is made in this chapter, shall contain a recital of the number of protests filed and such recital is binding and conclusive for all purposes.
