Act Now, Help First

You may be facing an HOA foreclosure in Nevada. Act now, help first. Read your notice and get professional help now.

Contact the appropriate servicer, attorney, title professional or authorities immediately. Do not ignore notices or delay on the basis of an article.

Quick Answer

Nevada law provides a statutory process through which a common-interest-community association may enforce certain liens through foreclosure when legal requirements are satisfied. The process involves required notices and procedural steps. It is not supposed to be missing one payment Friday and losing your house Monday, but an unresolved delinquency can become serious.

Current Nevada Law: Subject to Verification

This article discusses Nevada title, deed, foreclosure, property-tax and HOA law under current Nevada law as of the last reviewed date, and it is subject to change. Nevada deed-of-trust foreclosure procedures are governed primarily by NRS Chapter 107; Nevada common-interest-community (HOA) lien and foreclosure law is governed primarily by NRS Chapter 116. Statutes, deadlines, procedures and remedies change. Always verify current Nevada law and the specific facts of your situation with a qualified Nevada attorney and title professional before acting.

Step 1: Delinquency

Amounts become unpaid.

Step 2: Collection / Lien Process

The association may pursue statutory collection and lien remedies.

Step 3: Required Notices

Nevada law imposes notice and procedural requirements before foreclosure.

Step 4: Opportunity to Address the Debt

Depending on the stage and circumstances, the homeowner may have options such as paying, disputing, negotiating, selling, or obtaining legal assistance.

Step 5: Foreclosure Sale

If the delinquency remains unresolved and all statutory requirements are satisfied, the process can progress to sale.

An unresolved delinquency that meets statutory requirements can progress toward foreclosure. That is why acting early matters when there may be substantial equity.

Can I sell instead of fighting to keep the home?

Potentially, and if there is equity it may be worth evaluating the market side quickly.
