A look at proposed bills that would affect HOAs

Well, it’s time for the Nevada State Legislature to place into the bill hopper new laws that impact the homeowners association in our state. As of the publishing of this article we will not know which ones of the proposed bills will make it to the floor for both houses of our Legislature. Here are some of the proposed bills.

This recent action is interpreted to mean the Corporate Transparency Act and its reporting requirements are no longer in effect for U.S. citizens or domestic reporting companies, including all applicable community associations.

Homeowner wants recycle bins in condo community

There are no laws requiring an association to have a recycle container. Attend the next board meeting, during the homeowner forum part, ask if one of the board members would at least research the cost of having a recycle bin.

A virtual place is a space for HOA meetings

A virtual place is a place, but failure to identify the specific virtual place by address to connect is the same as failing to provide a physical address for a physical location.

Ultimately, the board of directors are responsible for the operation of their association. Boards can delegate some of their responsibilities to a community manager or association management company, but the bottom line requires the board to be diligent, as they are the responsible party.

Homeowner in good standing until board says otherwise

Until he has a hearing and a decision is made by the board, this homeowner would be in good standing. Remember, he is being called to a hearing for an alleged violation.

Federal ruling temporarily blocks Corporate Transparency Act
