Nevada guide
Nevada HOA governance risks
Nevada has one of the more prescriptive governance frameworks in the country. NRS 116 mandates quarterly board meetings with 10-day notice, mandatory owner-comment periods, secret-ballot elections, recorded minutes available within 30 days, broad records inspection rights under NRS 116.31175, and conflict-of-interest disclosure under NRS 116.31084.

The statute preempts conflicting declaration or bylaw provisions. Governance quality still varies in practice — and the document trail is unusually clear about which side of the line an association is on.
Board meeting requirements under NRS 116.31083
The executive board must meet at least every 100 days. Notice of 10 days is required, by mail or other authorized method. Meetings must be open to owners except for limited executive-session matters. Owners must be given owner-comment periods at the start and end of each meeting. Emergency meetings have relaxed notice but limited subject matter. Minutes must be recorded; audio recordings are permitted.
Owner meetings and elections under NRS 116.3108
Annual member meetings are required, with 15–60 day notice including agenda. Board members are elected by secret ballot with proxies or absentee ballots permitted. Owners holding 10 percent of votes may petition for a special meeting. Audio recording of owner meetings is permitted with notice.
Records access under NRS 116.31175
Owners have broad rights to inspect books, records, and minutes on reasonable notice. The association may not refuse access to records the owner is entitled to inspect, and may not impose unusual procedural hurdles. The records access framework is one of the better-defined among U.S. condo states.
Conflict-of-interest rules under NRS 116.31084
Board members must disclose conflicts and abstain from matters where they have personal interest. The Real Estate Division and Ombudsman office have authority to investigate complaints. Patterns of contracts awarded to vendors affiliated with board members or management are a diligence flag worth investigating through records requests.
Developer transition under NRS 116.31034
Developer control of the board ends at statutory thresholds — typically when a specified percentage of units have been sold. Documentation of the turnover, post-turnover audit, and any pending claims between the association and the developer are not part of the standard package but should be requested in recently-transitioned communities.
