Nebraska regulates homeowners associations through two primary statutes: the Nebraska Condominium Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. §76-825 to §76-894) for condominiums, and the Nebraska Planned Community Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. §76-2,101 et seq.) for planned communities. Both statutes are modeled on the Uniform Common-Interest Ownership Act (UCIOA), providing relatively comprehensive governance frameworks.
Nebraska law requires associations to provide homeowners with notice and an opportunity to be heard before imposing fines under §76-860 (condominiums) and corresponding provisions for planned communities. While Nebraska does not impose a statutory cap on fine amounts, the procedural protections and governance requirements provide meaningful safeguards for homeowners.
This guide covers Nebraska HOA law, how to fight violations, your rights under the Condominium Act and Planned Community Act, and strategies for challenging unfair enforcement. Compare Nebraska to neighboring states: Kansas, Colorado, Iowa.

What is the maximum HOA fine in Nebraska?
Nebraska does not impose a statutory cap on HOA fines. Fine amounts are determined by your CC&Rs and governing documents. However, Nebraska law requires notice and an opportunity to be heard before fines are imposed, and courts can review fines for reasonableness.
Does Nebraska require a hearing before my HOA can fine me?
Yes. Under the Nebraska Condominium Act (§76-860) and the Planned Community Act, associations must provide notice and an opportunity to be heard before imposing fines. This procedural protection applies to both condominium and planned community HOAs in Nebraska.
What is the Nebraska Planned Community Act?
The Nebraska Planned Community Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. §76-2,101 et seq.) governs planned community HOAs (non-condominium). Based on the UCIOA, it provides a comprehensive framework for HOA governance including board duties, homeowner rights, assessment authority, and enforcement procedures.
Can my Nebraska HOA foreclose on my home?
Yes. Under §76-875 (condominiums) and corresponding planned community provisions, associations have lien authority for unpaid assessments and can enforce liens through foreclosure. Nebraska is a judicial foreclosure state, meaning foreclosure requires a court proceeding with full defense rights.
