1. The state agency or political subdivision shall, within 48 hours after the appraisal, notify the head of the state agency of the removal of the vehicle. The notice must contain:
(a) A description of the vehicle.
(b) The appraised value of the vehicle.
(c) A statement as to whether the vehicle will be junked, dismantled or otherwise disposed of.
2. The person who removed the vehicle must notify the registered owner and any person having a security interest in the vehicle by registered or certified mail that the vehicle has been removed and will be junked or dismantled or otherwise disposed of unless the registered owner or the person having a security interest in the vehicle responds and pays the costs of removal.
3. Failure to reclaim within 15 days after notification a vehicle appraised at $500 or less constitutes a waiver of interest in the vehicle by any person having an interest in the vehicle.
4. If all recorded interests in a vehicle appraised at $500 or less are waived, either as provided in subsection 3 or by written disclaimer by any person having an interest in the vehicle, the state agency, except as otherwise provided in subsection 3 of NRS 487.100, shall issue a salvage title pursuant to NRS 487.810 to the automobile wrecker who towed the vehicle or to whom the vehicle may have been delivered, or a certificate of title to the garage owner if the garage owner elects to retain the vehicle and the vehicle is equipped as required by chapter 484D of NRS.
