Under the Nevada Common-Interest Ownership Act, NRS 116.3116, an association has a statutory lien for unpaid assessments. A portion is super-priority over a first mortgage, and the association may foreclose nonjudicially without going to court, following the notice procedures in NRS 116.31162 to 116.31168.
NRS 116.3116(3) makes part of the assessment lien prior to a first security interest, to the extent of assessments 'based on the periodic budget adopted by the association ... which would have become due in the absence of acceleration during the 9 months immediately preceding the date on which the notice of default and election to sell is recorded,' plus certain nuisance-abatement charges. This 9-month 'super-priority' piece can wipe out a mortgage if unpaid. The association may foreclose nonjudicially (NRS 116.31162-116.31168): it records and mails a notice of delinquent assessment, then a notice of default and election to sell, then a notice of sale to the owner and junior lienholders before a public sale. No court action is required.
No statutory penalty on the owner beyond the debt: the unpaid assessments, interest, reasonable collection and foreclosure costs, and attorney fees, enforced through a lien whose 9-month super-priority portion can be foreclosed nonjudicially ahead of the first mortgage.
