Federal and state laws regulate HOAs in Nevada, but it is the Nevada Real Estate Department that is ultimately responsible for maintaining the proper functioning of HOAs and their communities.
Nevada legislation dictates that you should have received a copy of your CC&Rs when you bought your home. (If it was a resale, you should have received them as part of your closing package.) If you don't have a copy of the document, reach out to your board or community management company.
Once you buy a home that's part of an HOA, you automatically become a member of the HOA. HOA rules are legally binding, and you must adhere to all rules and regulations in the governing document. Yes, there are bylaws that you may not like, but there are no HOA loopholes.
List of an HOA's Official Documents All documents provided by the developer, such as community maps, plats, plans, land surveys, permits. Recorded Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and any amendments. Rules and Regulations.
HOA Directory: Homeowners can find their community association or subdivision's contact information, list of board members, and other relevant corporate information by visiting the Nevada Business Portal and entering the name of the association in the search field.
The best way to strategize on short-term rental restrictions is to speak to a board member. At the same time, you can consult the CC&Rs' (Covenants, conditions, and restrictions) advice. Knowing the potential risks of getting around HOA's restrictions is important. And we highly recommend doing it the legal way.
The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.
No, there is not a way to ``leave the HOA'' without moving. The HOA covenants are tied to the property permanently.
