Most state laws and governing documents require a vote to amend the bylaws and covenants of an association.

Yes, homeowners associations in Nevada can be dissolved. The procedure for dissolving the association may be outlined in the HOA's governing documents, or the board of directors has to approve a motion that will be presented to the members of the organization for a vote.
