Nevada has developed comprehensive HOA protections governed primarily by Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 116 — the Common-Interest Communities Act, based on the Uniform Common-Interest Ownership Act (UCIOA). With significant recent legislative reforms in 2025, Nevada has strengthened homeowner protections against board overreach and unfair enforcement.
Recent legislation including SB 201 (2025) protecting religious and cultural door displays has enhanced homeowner rights. Note: Nevada SB 152, which would have protected EV charger installation rights, died in committee in 2025 — Nevada currently has no statutory EV charger protection for HOA communities.
