(b) Pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 1 of NRS 361.395, the Secretary of the Board shall forward by first-class mail to the property owner or owners affected, notice of the increased valuation. 2. As soon as changes resulting from cases having a substantial effect on tax revenues have been certified to the county auditor by the Secretary of the State Board of Equalization, the county auditor shall: (a) Enter all such changes and the value of any construction work in progress and net proceeds of minerals which were certified to him or her by the Department, on the assessment roll before the delivery thereof to the tax receiver. (b) Add up the valuations and enter the total valuation of each kind of property and the total valuation of all property on the assessment roll. (c) Certify the results to the board of county commissioners and the Department. 3.

As soon as changes resulting from cases having less than a substantial effect on tax revenue have been certified to the county tax receiver by the Secretary of the State Board of Equalization, the county tax receiver shall adjust the assessment roll or the tax statement or make a tax refund, as directed by the State Board of Equalization.
