The short version
- Homeowner associations, condominiums and cooperatives follow Nevada's Uniform Common-Interest Ownership Act.
- On written request, the board must make the association's financial statement, budgets, reserve study and contracts available for review during regular working hours.
- The board meets at least once every quarter, and owners receive notice at least 10 days before each board meeting.
- Unpaid assessments become a lien on the unit, and the part covering up to nine months of regular assessments has priority over the first mortgage.
- An association may not foreclose based on a fine or penalty for breaking the governing documents unless the violation threatens health or safety or involves certain required schedules.
Nevada homeowner associations and condominiums follow the state's version of the Uniform Common-Interest Ownership Act, NRS chapter 116. It sets rules on records, board meetings, assessments, liens and foreclosure.
