Governing Law: Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 116 — Common-Interest Communities
Researched by Brandon Sorensen
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.
This guide covers everything you need to know about Nevada HOA law: how to fight violations, your rights as a homeowner, the Nevada HOA Ombudsman complaint process, and the hard limits on what your HOA can fine you.

Read the full Nevada dispute guide →Under Nevada Revised Statute § 116.31031, the maximum fine is $100 per violation and $1,000 per hearing. These limits are mandatory and cannot be exceeded by HOA governing documents — the one exception is a violation that poses an imminent threat to health, safety, or welfare, which is not subject to the cap. Nevada law provides one of the strongest fine-cap protections in the nation.
SB 201 (effective July 1, 2025, codified as NRS 116.323) protects your right to affix religious or cultural items to your door or door frame. An HOA cannot prohibit such a display as long as it does not exceed 36 inches by 12 inches (or the size of the door). This protects menorahs, crosses, the Star of David, and similar items from HOA restrictions.
Currently, yes — Nevada has no state law protecting your right to install an EV charger in an HOA community. Nevada SB 152, which would have prohibited HOAs from restricting EV charging installations, died in committee in 2025 without passing. Unlike California, Colorado, Florida, and Oregon, Nevada homeowners must work within their CC&Rs and seek board approval through the standard architectural or modification request process.
No. Under § 116.31031(6), the board must hold a hearing before it may impose a fine (unless you pay first, waive the hearing in writing, or fail to appear after proper notice). You have the right to detailed written notice — including the fine amount and, for physical-condition violations, a clear photograph — plus a reasonable opportunity to prepare, the right to counsel and witnesses at the hearing (§116.31085(4)(b)), and written notice of the decision afterward (§116.31085(4)(d)). Note the hearing is held by the executive board itself; Nevada does not require an independent decision-maker.
