Can a board take speech that is harsh, persistent, even insulting or upsetting, characterize it as “harassment,” and then bootstrap it into a health, safety and welfare violation carrying fines with no statutory limit? If the owner disagrees, the only remaining response can become: Sue us. That Is a Powerful Disincentive. Moving the dispute into civil litigation gives an HOA board an enormous practical advantage.

Meaningful HOA reform cannot stop at minor procedural fixes.

Nevada already recognizes that ordinary HOA fines should not generally support foreclosure. But the HSW exception undermines that principle. If a condition truly threatens health, safety, or welfare, the law should require direct cure, abatement, injunction, or code enforcement — not foreclosure over a fine.

Nevada homeowners have a statutory right to remove an owner-elected HOA board member with or without cause. But recall is not accomplished by anger alone. It requires a proper petition, secret ballot, turnout, and careful attention to NRS 116.31036.

Many homeowners like HOAs for community standards and amenities. But HOAs also exercise real governing and financial power over homes. The real question is whether Nevada properly limits that power and protects homeowners when it is misused.

Nevada’s Supreme Court will decide if HOAs can punish homeowners for speaking out and running for office. The case tests the First Amendment inside common-interest communities.

Some Nevada HOAs continue to hold virtual-only board meetings even after emergency orders have ended—excluding homeowners and weakening transparency. Learn why this practice is legally questionable and how reform is needed.
