Nebraska HOA & Condo Fines: No Statutory Cap (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-860)

The Nebraska Condominium Act grants associations broad enforcement powers. Section 76-860(a)(11) authorizes the unit owners association to 'levy reasonable fines for violations of the declaration, bylaws, and rules and regulations' and to 'impose charges for late payment of assessments.' The only statutory limit is reasonableness — there is no dollar cap and no mandatory notice-and-hearing procedure written into the act, so those protections depend on the recorded bylaws. Ordinary planned-community HOAs have no governing fines statute at all; their authority to fine flows entirely from the recorded declaration and is constrained only by contract law and the Nebraska Nonprofit Corporation Act (§ 21-1901 et seq.). An owner challenging a fine generally relies on the 'reasonable' standard and any procedures the governing documents supply.

No specific statutory penalty cap. Condominiums may levy 'reasonable fines' and late-payment charges under § 76-860(a)(11); planned-community HOAs may fine only as authorized by the recorded declaration. Any notice or hearing right exists only if the governing documents create it.
