6 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 2 mixed.
Starting July 1, 2026, the state commission can fine up to $5,000 per violation in HOA cases. The same $5,000 cap applies to violations of commission or panel orders. You must receive notice and a hearing before any fine.
Starting July 1, 2026, HOA rules must match the governing documents and be reasonable, clear, and enforced the same for everyone. Any amendment to a community’s declaration takes effect only when it is recorded in every county where the community lies. Ending a community now needs at least 80% of all votes plus 80% of votes from non‑developer owners; a declaration may require more.
Local governments in counties (100,000+ people) and cities (60,000+ people) must allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on residential lots. If they do not act by July 1, 2026, ADUs are allowed by default on any residential parcel there. No more than two ADUs per lot are allowed. Local rules cannot ban separate kitchens, require more than one extra parking space, or set tighter side or rear setbacks than the main house. They also cannot require street work except to fix damage or protect health and safety, and they cannot ban long‑term renting of an ADU (short‑term stays may still be banned). ADUs must meet residential building and safety codes, not commercial codes like business‑grade sprinklers. Local governments may choose even simpler approval, like by building permit. Early, compliant local ordinances remain in place, and regions run by an interstate‑compact planning agency are exempt.
Starting July 1, 2026, if the community declaration allows rental limits, an HOA may restrict renting only as needed to meet mortgage‑lender or insurer underwriting. Developer‑owned units do not count toward any rental cap. Owners blocked by a full cap may ask the board for a waiver based on economic hardship. The law also lets HOAs amend their declarations to add leasing limits that match lender or insurer standards.
Starting July 1, 2026, sellers must give buyers proof of the association’s required insurance in the resale packet. This does not apply if the sale requires a public offering statement or is exempt under NRS 116.4101(2). Buyers get clearer information about coverage before closing.
A person who wants to challenge a final zoning or ADU decision must file in court within 25 days. The law also confirms ADU rules are part of local zoning powers. Local governments cannot use the state reimbursement law to get paid back for extra costs from this act.
