Nevada HOA Violation Response Letter

Nevada's HOA law sets out what a fine notice must say, requires a hearing before a fine unless you pay, waive it or skip it, and caps fines for most violations. Your letter checks the notice against those rules, shows your cure, and gives the board your side before the hearing.

notice says my fence breaks the 6-foot limit
the committee approved it last year
$150 fine, 30 days

written into

I received a notice dated April 28 citing my fence under Section 4.3, with a $150 fine. The architectural committee approved that fence last year, and I have their letter.

I am asking the board to dismiss the violation and waive the fine. The approval and the photographs are attached.

What Nevada Law Requires Before an HOA Fines You

Under NRS 116.31031, where the governing documents allow fines, a fine notice must be in writing and spell out the violation, the proposed cure, the fine amount and the hearing's date, time and place, with a photo of a physical-condition violation when possible, mailed to your unit and any mailing address you designated.
The board must hold a hearing before it fines you unless you pay, waive the hearing in writing, or fail to appear after proper notice, and the notice must leave you reasonable time to prepare (NRS 116.31031).
If the violation isn't cured 14 days after a fine, or a longer period the board sets, further fines can be imposed for each 7-day period it continues (NRS 116.31031).
For a violation that isn't an imminent threat, fines are capped at $100 per violation and $1,000 in total per hearing, though each added fine for a continuing violation is not subject to that cap, only to a limit of the original fine's amount, for each 7-day period or portion of one that the violation is not cured (NRS 116.31031).
You must have received written notice of the governing-document provision at least 30 days before the alleged violation (NRS 116.31031).

Your declaration, bylaws and rules may add steps of their own, and other laws can apply too. Statute text as of November 3, 2026. This is general information, not legal advice; for a complex dispute, talk to a licensed attorney in your state.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I can't make the hearing date in Nevada?

Ask the board in writing, right away, to reschedule, and give dates you can attend. If you simply don't show up after proper notice, the board can fine you without hearing from you.

Can I avoid continuing fines?

Continuing fines can start only if the problem is still uncured some time after the first fine. Cure the violation as fast as you can and tell the board in writing the day it's done, with a photo.

What does prior notice of the rule mean?

The association has to have told you about the specific governing-document provision some time before the violation. If you've never seen the rule, ask when and how it was sent to you.

Is there an exception to the fine cap?

Yes, two. Violations treated as an imminent threat are fined by severity instead, and added fines for a continuing violation fall outside the cap, though each one can't exceed the amount of the original fine, for each week or part of a week that the violation isn't cured. If the association puts your issue in the first category, ask it to explain why in writing.
