HOA disputes we handle for North Las Vegas homeowners
Why North Las Vegas homeowners face HOA disputes
Aliante is a master-planned community of about 1,900 acres in the north of the city. Its master association sits over sub-associations, including Sun City Aliante, a Del Webb 55+ community, and neighborhoods such as The Estates at Aliante. Owners in these communities pay into more than one budget and follow more than one set of rules.
Golf course and amenity issues come up often. In 2026, a Sun City Aliante homeowner publicly raised golf ball damage to her home, while the association pointed to risk disclosures in the CC&Rs. Disputes like this turn on what the governing documents say and what was disclosed at purchase.
North Las Vegas regulates short-term rentals closely: the city requires a conditional use permit and a business license, and sets distance limits from other rentals and resort hotels. It also asks for a notarized letter from the HOA authorizing the rental. So an HOA's position can decide whether a rental is possible at all. Our guide on whether a Nevada HOA can ban short-term rentals covers the rules.
Your rights under NRS 116
Nevada's Common-Interest Ownership Act, NRS Chapter 116, governs most North Las Vegas HOAs. Before fining an owner, an association generally must give notice and a chance to be heard. Fines are generally capped at $100 per violation or $1,000 per hearing, except for violations posing an imminent threat to health or safety (NRS 116.31031). Our guide to Nevada HOA fine limits explains the rules.
Financial and budget records generally must be provided within 21 days after a written request (NRS 116.31175). Before most lawsuits over the CC&Rs, bylaws or rules, the dispute generally must first go to mediation or another program under NRS 38.310. Nevada also lets associations foreclose on assessment liens, and part of the lien can take priority over a first mortgage (NRS 116.3116). Our Nevada NRS 116 homeowner rights guide covers each protection.
Small claims up to $10,000 and other civil cases up to $15,000 can be filed in North Las Vegas Justice Court. Larger cases generally go to the Eighth Judicial District Court.
COMMON QUESTIONS
North Las Vegas HOA lawyer: frequently asked questions
Yes. The Sun City Aliante Community Association is part of the Aliante Master Association, so owners generally follow both sets of governing documents and pay into both budgets.
When a rule or charge seems to conflict, ask each association which document it relies on. Our Nevada HOA Ombudsman guide explains where to turn if you get no answer.
It depends on the CC&Rs and who caused the damage. In a 2026 dispute, the association pointed to golf risk disclosures in its CC&Rs, and the city said golfers are responsible for damage they cause.
Document each incident with photos and dates. Ask the association in writing which provision applies before you pay any repair.
Generally yes. The city asks for a notarized letter from the HOA authorizing the rental, along with a conditional use permit and a business license.
Distance limits from other rentals and resort hotels also apply. Ask your association whether its documents allow transient rentals before you apply to the city.
People also ask
