Nevada HOAs enforce CC and Rs under NRS 116.31031. Violations require written notice, hearing, and written decisions. Fines are capped at 100 dollars per violation or 500 dollars for health and safety issues.
CC and Rs enforcement in Reno HOAs must follow NRS 116.31031 due process rules. The association must: provide written notice of the alleged violation, specify a cure period, offer a hearing before the board or committee, and issue written decisions. Fines are capped at 100 dollars per violation under NRS 116.31031, or up to 500 dollars per continuing violation that threatens health, safety, or welfare. Associations cannot fine for first-time violations unless the violation poses imminent harm. Liens and foreclosure for unpaid fines are limited (NRS 116.3116 restricts foreclosure primarily to assessment debt, not fines alone). Consistent enforcement is required; selective enforcement can be raised as a defense.
Improper enforcement: owner can challenge via NRED complaint or civil suit. Fines over statutory caps: unenforceable.
