1. The governing body shall cause to be created a list of the names and addresses of all: (a) Persons who reside within a proposed tax increment area and who own taxable property within a proposed tax increment area; and (b) If the undertaking is a natural resources project or a rail project for which the municipality has received approval from the Interim Finance Committee pursuant to NRS 278C.157: (1) Retailers located within a proposed tax increment area; and (2) Employers located within a proposed tax increment area. Ê The names and addresses for the list may be obtained from the records of the county assessor, the Department of Taxation or from such other sources as the clerk or the engineer deems available. A list of such names and addresses pertaining to any tax increment area may be revised from time to time, but must be revised at least once every 12 months if the list is needed for a period longer than 12 months. 2. If notice is required to be mailed pursuant to this chapter, the notice must be sent by prepaid, first-class mail, to the last known address of the person to whom the notice is being sent. 3. The mailing of any notice required in this chapter must be verified by the affidavit or certificate of the engineer, clerk, deputy or other person mailing the notice. Each verification of mailing must be filed with the clerk and be retained in the records of the municipality at least until all bonds and any other securities pertaining to a tax increment account have been paid in full, or any claim is barred by a statute of limitations. 4. A verification of mailing is prima facie evidence of the mailing of the notice in accordance with the requirements of this section.
