Nebraska regulates condominiums through the Nebraska Condominium Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. §76-825 to §76-894), a UCIOA-based statute that applies to condominiums created on or after January 1, 1984 (older condominiums fall under the Condominium Property Act, §76-801 et seq.). Nebraska does not have a separate "Planned Community Act" — ordinary (non-condominium) HOAs are governed by their recorded declaration (CC&Rs) plus the Nebraska Nonprofit Corporation Act (Chapter 21), because most HOAs are organized as nonprofit corporations.

For ordinary HOAs, fine amounts and procedures come from the governing documents, supplemented by Nebraska contract and property law.
