Nevada HOA violation letters: what the law requires
Nevada is one of the most prescriptive states: before fining, the board must have given the owner the governing-document provisions at issue at least 30 days before the alleged violation, then serve a detailed written violation notice — including a photo where possible, the proposed cure, the fine amount, and a hearing date — and hold a hearing before imposing the fine unless the owner waives it. Non-health/safety fines are capped at $100 per violation and $1,000 total per hearing.
Before you send: Nevada notice requirements
Uniform Common-Interest Ownership Act (NRS Chapter 116); fines at NRS 116.31031, hearings at NRS 116.31085
- Fines are allowed only if the governing documents so provide, and a schedule of fines must be delivered to each unit before a fine policy is enforced (NRS 116.31031).
- At least 30 days before the alleged violation, the owner must have received written notice of the governing-document provisions forming the basis of the violation (NRS 116.31031(4)).
- The violation notice must specify the violation in detail, the proposed cure, the fine amount, and the date, time, and location of a hearing — with a clear photograph of the violation where one is possible — plus a reasonable opportunity to cure or contest.
- The board must hold the hearing before imposing the fine unless the fine is paid, the owner executes a written waiver, or the owner fails to appear after proper notice; owners have due-process rights including counsel and witnesses (NRS 116.31031(5)-(6); NRS 116.31085).
- Non-health/safety fines may not exceed $100 per violation or $1,000 total per hearing; an uncured violation becomes continuing after 14 days and may draw additional fines up to the original amount every 7 days without a new hearing (NRS 116.31031).
- Past-due fines may not bear interest, and board members delinquent in their own assessments may not participate in fine hearings or votes.
Fines: Unless a violation poses an imminent threat of substantial harm to health, safety, or welfare, fines are capped at $100 per violation and $1,000 total per hearing; continuing-violation fines after an uncured 14-day period recur per 7-day period but cannot exceed the original fine (NRS 116.31031).

Nevada HOA letter FAQ
What must a Nevada violation notice include?
Under NRS 116.31031(4), the written notice must detail the alleged violation, the proposed cure, the fine amount, and the hearing's date, time, and location — plus a clear photograph if the violation can be photographed — and it must be mailed to the unit address and any other address the owner designated.
How much can a Nevada HOA fine?
For violations that don't pose an imminent health or safety threat: at most $100 per violation and $1,000 total per hearing. Uncured violations become continuing after 14 days and can draw repeat fines every 7 days.
Is a hearing mandatory before every fine?
Effectively yes — the board must hold the hearing before imposing the fine, unless the owner pays first, signs a written waiver, or fails to appear after proper notice (NRS 116.31031). The cure clock for continuing violations doesn't start until the owner gets written notice of the board's decision.
