Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
11 provisions identified: 9 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Moving and repair help for homeowners
Eligible owners receive advance payment for actual, documented moving costs, up to $50,000, using federal community development grant rules. They must have owned their Windsor Park home on December 31, 2023, and move into a program replacement home. Payments are reduced proportionally if transferred funds are too small. The program also pays up to $10,000 per home for repairs to Windsor Park homes previously built or repaired with City community development grants. North Las Vegas must transfer remaining relocation bond proceeds and interest, plus designated relocation and home-construction grant money, to the Housing Division. The Division must track these funds separately and use them only for the specified moving and repair purposes.
Replacement homes for Windsor Park owners
Owners who owned a Windsor Park single-family home on December 31, 2023, can exchange it for a newly built home. The replacement must have at least the same square footage, and enough homes must be built for every eligible owner. Exchanges can begin once replacement homes receive certificates of occupancy. The selected developer can use vacant land as near Windsor Park as reasonably practical, after a study finds it will not sink. The Housing Division's usual purchase-price limit does not apply to program land purchases.
Tax savings on Windsor Park exchanges
Replacement homes acquired through the exchange program receive a property-tax exemption until July 1, 2057. It equals the difference between the new home's taxes at acquisition and the old home's taxes for the exchange fiscal year. Qualifying program property transfers also avoid Nevada real property transfer taxes. This covers transfers by the participating developer or its affiliate, and exchanges involving Windsor Park residents or vacant-lot owners.
Required Windsor Park restitution payments end
The law ends required $50,000 restitution payments to qualifying resident owners or their descendants. It also ends required $10,000 restitution payments to initial occupants or their descendants. The Housing Division no longer has to make these specified payments.
Mortgage help with five-year home liens
The Housing Division helps eligible owners arrange financing, including down payment help, to complete a home exchange. Any mortgage or deed of trust on the old home must be paid in full before the exchange. Payoff assistance cannot exceed the debt's payoff amount as of May 25, 2025. The Division records the amount it pays, creating a lien on the replacement home that expires five years after filing. That lien takes priority over most other liens, except taxes and government charges.
More Windsor Park owners can qualify
The ownership cutoff moves from July 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. The covered North Las Vegas area includes homes and vacant lots on the south side of West Cartier Avenue. It also includes properties west of Chamberlain Lane on West Cartier Avenue, Sommer Court, Hayworth Avenue, or Stanton Drive. People claiming inherited ownership can submit a sworn statement that title passed from a deceased relative by law. They must also provide evidence, such as deeds, heirship papers, or tax records showing up to 15 years of payments.
Moving help for displaced Windsor Park renters
The Housing Division may pay moving costs for tenants required to move because of the Windsor Park program. Their landlord must have owned the home on December 31, 2023. Payments go directly in advance to the person who incurs the documented expenses. The tenant provision sets no payment cap and does not guarantee a payment. Existing leases remain in effect on the same terms when a leased home is exchanged.
Replacement lots for Windsor Park owners
People who owned a Windsor Park vacant lot on December 31, 2023, can qualify for a replacement-lot exchange. They must have owned the former home on that lot or be descended from its former owner. The replacement lot must be as near Windsor Park as reasonably practical and have at least the same acreage. An available Cibola Park lot must be offered first under agreements among North Las Vegas, Clark County, and the Housing Division.
Contract preference for resident-owned building businesses
Qualifying businesses receive a 5% relative-weight preference when competing for contracts to develop and build replacement homes. At least 50% of the business must be owned by a current or former Windsor Park resident. The preference does not guarantee a contract.
Exchanged Windsor Park land becomes memorial park
Exchanged Windsor Park property must become a public park honoring past and present neighborhood residents. Schools and churches serving the neighborhood can use it without charge. North Las Vegas must provide access to City-owned neighborhood lots and rights-of-way, then maintain the park after demolition. Demolition requires a separate agreement, is exempt from state contract-award rules, and must be paid entirely from legislative appropriations. Park and relocation work must follow applicable federal funding rules.
More funding for Windsor Park housing
Beginning July 1, 2025, Nevada provides $26 million from its General Fund to the Housing Division for the program. The law also extends deadlines for the existing $12 million appropriation. Both appropriations must be committed by June 30, 2027, and spent by September 17, 2027. Any remaining balance must return to the General Fund by September 17, 2027. The Division must pursue federal grants, and program agreements must use state money alongside other available public or private funds. Applicable federal grant rules must be followed.
