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 display rights and SB 417 (2025) requiring election transparency 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.

What is the maximum HOA fine in Nevada?
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. Nevada law provides one of the strongest fine-cap protections in the nation.
What did Nevada SB 201 (2025) change for HOA homeowners?
SB 201 (effective 2025) protects your right to display religious symbols and items on your property. HOAs cannot restrict religious displays exceeding 36 inches by 12 inches on your lot. This protects menoras, crosses, Star of David, and other religious items from HOA restrictions.
Can my Nevada HOA prevent me from installing an EV charger?
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.
Can my Nevada HOA fine me without a hearing?
No. Under § 116.31031, Nevada HOAs must provide mandatory hearing rights before imposing any fine. You have the right to notice, a hearing before impartial decision-makers, and written findings. No hearing, no valid fine.
