Explanation
A planned community under NRS Chapter 116 is a common-interest community (not a condominium or cooperative) where owners have separate lots/homes but share common elements and pay HOA assessments. The overwhelming majority of new Nevada residential subdivisions are planned communities with HOAs. The HOA is governed by a board, operates under recorded CC&Rs and bylaws, and is subject to extensive regulation under NRS Chapter 116 including the Nevada HOA Ombudsman's oversight.
