Nevada community association law
Nevada HOA & condo statutes
Nevada's NRS Chapter 116 is among the most prescriptive HOA laws in the country, with a state Ombudsman, mandatory election procedures, and some of the strongest super-lien rights for associations.
Nevada requires a licensed community association manager
Unlike most states, Nevada regulates the CAM profession. Managers are credentialed by the Nevada Real Estate Division, Common-Interest Communities & Condominium Hotels as a Community Manager (CAM) certificate under NRS Ch. 116A. Boards should confirm their manager holds a current credential.
