Re: Violation Notice — fine of $350
Dear Board of Directors,
I'm writing in response to the $350 fine assessed at my property. As context for this dispute, the Coopers of Henderson were fined $350 for converting their lawn to desert landscaping — protected explicitly under NRS § 116.31075.
Under NRS § 116.31031, Nevada HOAs must give 10 days written notice before a violation hearing. NRS § 38.310 requires ADR before suit. The board did not meet that requirement here.
I demand the fine be rescinded within 14 days. Alternatively, please schedule the hearing the Nevada Uniform Common-Interest Ownership Act requires.
Respectfully,
[Homeowner]

What's in your letter
Every Nevada letter built on three pillars
NRS Chapter 116
Each letter cites the specific section of Nevada Uniform Common-Interest Ownership Act the board allegedly skipped — by section number, not by general reference.
CC&R clause analysis
The article and section of the CC&Rs the board cited — pulled into the letter so the board cannot later claim a different clause governs.
Fine-cap or fee math
Nevada has no statutory fine cap, so the letter argues reasonableness and procedural defect under the CC&Rs and Nevada Uniform Common-Interest Ownership Act.

FAQ
Common Nevada HOA dispute questions
Can a Nevada HOA fine me for xeriscaping my yard?
No. NRS § 116.31075 limits Nevada HOAs from requiring water-intensive landscaping and protects xeriscape conversions in common-interest communities. Given Nevada's drought policy, fines for replacing turf with desert landscaping are routinely voided at the Real Estate Division.
Do I have to use Nevada's Real Estate Division before suing my HOA?
Yes for most claims. NRS § 38.310 requires alternative dispute resolution through the Nevada Real Estate Division before civil litigation. The dispute letter is what establishes the predicate written demand, which is required to trigger the ADR process.
How much notice does a Nevada HOA owe before a hearing?
NRS § 116.31031 requires at least 10 days written notice before the hearing on an alleged violation. The notice must specify the alleged violation, the date and time of the hearing, and the homeowner's right to be heard.
Can I inspect my Nevada HOA's financial records?
Yes. NRS § 116.3118 gives Nevada unit owners the right to inspect association financial and other records upon written request. The HOA must respond within a reasonable time and may not impose unreasonable fees.
