Is my HOA fine valid in Nevada?
In Nevada, NRS 116.31031 requires a hearing before a fine, a published schedule of fines, and a $100-per-violation / $1,000-per-hearing cap for ordinary violations — with a narrow health-and-safety exception.
This is general information, not legal advice, and it does not decide whether your fine is valid. For your specific situation, a licensed Nevada attorney is the right resource.

Answer a few questions about the Nevada fine or violation notice you received, and see how it compares to what the law requires.
What Nevada law requires before an HOA can fine you
Governing framework: Nevada Common-Interest Ownership Act (NRS Chapter 116).
The executive board must hold a hearing before it may impose a fine (unless the owner waives it or fails to appear), and fines must follow a schedule the association prepared and delivered.
“The executive board must hold a hearing before it may impose [a] fine” — NRS 116.31031
Statute: NRS 116.31031
For a violation that doesn’t pose an imminent health-or-safety threat, the fine must not exceed $100 per violation or $1,000 per hearing.
“The amount of the fine must not exceed $100 for each violation or a total amount of $1,000 per hearing” — NRS 116.31031
Statute: NRS 116.31031
Under SB 72 (2021), an association generally cannot fine an owner for a violation by the owner’s tenant or invitee unless the owner participated in or authorized it, had prior notice, or had the opportunity to stop it and failed — except for health/safety/welfare violations.
Statute: NRS 116.31031 (SB 72, 2021)
Timing the Nevada statute sets
HOA disputes often turn on short statutory windows — these are worth knowing early.
14-day cure window before a continuing violation
If a violation isn’t cured within 14 days, it is deemed a continuing violation, and the board may impose an additional fine for each 7-day period it continues.
