Why Centennial Hills homeowners face HOA disputes
Skye Canyon is an Olympia Companies master plan of roughly 1,000 acres off US 95, planned for about 6,500 homes. Its Skye Center, pool and Skye Fitness give owners shared amenities. Providence, developed by Focus Property Group, adds thousands more homes and several community parks. Skye Summit, a newer Olympia plan for more than 3,000 homes, was approved nearby in 2024.
Newer master plans bring growing pains. Amenity fees, design rules for first-time landscaping and patios, and the hand-over from developer to homeowners all create questions. Many owners belong to a master association and a neighborhood association, each with its own budget.
Short-term rentals are tightly limited here. The City of Las Vegas requires the owner to live on site during each stay, sets distance limits and requires written HOA permission where applicable. The city's rental handout also lists Skye Canyon among master-planned areas where short-term rentals are generally prohibited. Our guide on whether a Nevada HOA can ban short-term rentals covers the rest.
Your rights under NRS 116
NRS Chapter 116 governs most Centennial Hills HOAs, including the master associations in Skye Canyon and Providence. Before an association can fine you, it generally must give notice and a hearing. Fines are generally capped at $100 per violation or $1,000 per hearing, except for health and safety threats (NRS 116.31031). Our guide on HOA fines without proof explains what evidence a board needs.
Disputes over the CC&Rs generally must go to mediation or another program under NRS 38.310 before court. Owners can also request financial and budget records, generally due within 21 days (NRS 116.31175). Our Nevada NRS 116 homeowner rights guide covers each protection.
Small claims of up to $10,000, and other civil claims up to $15,000, are generally filed in Las Vegas Justice Court, with larger cases in the Eighth Judicial District Court.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Centennial Hills HOA lawyer: frequently asked questions
Generally no. The City of Las Vegas rental handout lists Skye Canyon among master-planned areas where short-term rentals are prohibited.
Elsewhere in the city, the owner must live on site during each stay, and written HOA permission is required where applicable. Check your CC&Rs and the city's current handout before you sign any rental agreement.
Often yes, if the CC&Rs or design guidelines require landscaping within a set time after closing. Ask for the written rule and any approved plant list, and request an extension in writing if you need one.
Fines still require notice and a hearing. Our guide to HOA rules and regulations explains how rules must be applied.
The board can generally impose a fine if you received proper notice and did not appear. Under NRS 116.31031, a fine generally requires notice and an opportunity for a hearing, unless the owner pays, waives the hearing or fails to appear. If you missed it for a good reason, ask in writing for a new hearing date.
People also ask
Ask for the governing documents, the budget, the reserve study summary and any pending assessments or lawsuits. For resales, Nevada requires a resale package with these items, and buyers generally get a short window to cancel after receiving it (NRS 116.4109). For new homes, review the developer's disclosures just as carefully.
Generally not from public city streets. On private streets and common property, Nevada generally allows towing after at least 48 hours' notice, with exceptions for fire lanes and safety hazards (NRS 116.3102). If your car was towed, ask for the rule and the notice that was given before the tow.
Generally no. Nevada law voids covenants that prohibit or unreasonably restrict solar energy systems (NRS 111.239).
The association can usually require an application and reasonable placement rules (NRS 116.333), so submit plans before installation. Keep a copy of the approval or any written denial for your records.
Nevada generally ends developer control once 75 percent of units are sold, or 90 percent in communities of 1,000 or more units (NRS 116.31032). Owners gain board seats in stages before that. Ask the association for its turnover schedule, and review budgets and reserves closely before the hand-over.
