2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 116 - Common-Interest Ownership (Uniform Act)|NRS 116.2102 - Unit boundaries.

Except as otherwise provided by the declaration:  1. If walls, floors or ceilings are designated as boundaries of a unit, all lath, furring, wallboard, plasterboard, plaster, paneling, tiles, wallpaper, paint, finished flooring and any other materials constituting any part of the finished surfaces thereof are a part of the unit, and all other portions of the walls, floors or ceilings are a part of the common elements.  2. If any chute, flue, duct, wire, conduit, bearing wall, bearing column or any other fixture lies partially within and partially outside the designated boundaries of a unit, any portion thereof serving only that unit is a limited common element allocated solely to that unit, and any portion thereof serving more than one unit or any portion of the common elements is a part of the common elements.  3. Subject to subsection 2, all spaces, interior partitions and other fixtures and improvements within the boundaries of a unit are a part of the unit.  4. Any shutters, awnings, window boxes, doorsteps, stoops, porches, balconies, pads and mounts for heating and air-conditioning systems, patios and all exterior doors and windows or other fixtures designed to serve a single unit, but located outside the unit’s boundaries, are limited common elements allocated exclusively to that unit.

NV Rev Stat § 116.2103 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 116 - Common-Interest Ownership (Uniform Act)|NRS 116.2103 - Construction and validity of declaration and bylaws.

  1. The inclusion in a governing document of an association of a provision that violates any provision of this chapter does not render any other provisions of the governing document invalid or otherwise unenforceable if the other provisions can be given effect in accordance with their original intent and the provisions of this chapter.  2. The rule against perpetuities and NRS 111.103 to 111.1039, inclusive, do not apply to defeat any provision of the declaration, bylaws, rules or regulations adopted pursuant to NRS 116.3102.  3. If a conflict exists between the declaration and the bylaws, the declaration prevails except to the extent the declaration is inconsistent with this chapter.  4. Title to a unit and common elements is not rendered unmarketable or otherwise affected by reason of an insubstantial failure of the declaration to comply with this chapter. Whether a substantial failure impairs marketability is not affected by this chapter.  (Added to NRS by 1991, 544; A 2003, 2225; 2011, 2421)
NV Rev Stat § 116.2104 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 116 - Common-Interest Ownership (Uniform Act)|NRS 116.2104 - Description of units.

A description of a unit which sets forth the name of the common-interest community, the file number and book or other information to show where the declaration is recorded, the county in which the common-interest community is located and the identifying number of the unit, is a legally sufficient description of that unit and all rights, obligations and interests appurtenant to that unit which were created by the declaration or bylaws.  (Added to NRS by 1991, 544; A 1993, 2357)
NV Rev Stat § 116.2106 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 116 - Common-Interest Ownership (Uniform Act)|NRS 116.2106 - Leasehold common-interest communities.

  1. Any lease the expiration or termination of which may terminate the common-interest community or reduce its size must be recorded. Every lessor of those leases in a condominium or planned community shall sign the declaration. The declaration must state:  (a) The recording data for the lease or a statement of where the recorded lease may be inspected;  (b) The date on which the lease is scheduled to expire;  (c) A legally sufficient description of the real estate subject to the lease;  (d) Any right of the units’ owners to redeem the reversion and the manner whereby those rights may be exercised, or a statement that they do not have those rights;  (e) Any right of the units’ owners to remove any improvements within a reasonable time after the expiration or termination of the lease, or a statement that they do not have those rights; and  (f) Any rights of the units’ owners to renew the lease and the conditions of any renewal, or a statement that they do not have those rights.  2. After the declaration for a leasehold condominium or leasehold planned community is recorded, neither the lessor nor the lessor’s successor in interest may terminate the leasehold interest of a unit’s owner who makes timely payment of his or her share of the rent and otherwise complies with all covenants which, if violated, would entitle the lessor to terminate the lease. The leasehold interest of a unit’s owner in a condominium or planned community is not affected by failure of any other person to pay rent or fulfill any other covenant.  3. Acquisition of the leasehold interest of any unit’s owner by the owner of the reversion or remainder does not merge the leasehold and freehold interests unless the leasehold interests of all units’ owners subject to that reversion or remainder are acquired.  4. If the expiration or termination of a lease decreases the number of units in a common-interest community, the allocated interests must be reallocated in accordance with subsection 1 of NRS 116.1107 as if those units had been taken by eminent domain. Reallocations must be confirmed by an amendment to the declaration prepared, executed and recorded by the association.  (Added to NRS by 1991, 545; A 2011, 2422)
NV Rev Stat § 116.2107 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 116 - Common-Interest Ownership (Uniform Act)|NRS 116.2107 - Allocation of allocated interests.

  1. The declaration must allocate to each unit:  (a) In a condominium, a fraction or percentage of undivided interests in the common elements and in the common expenses of the association, and a portion of the votes in the association;  (b) In a cooperative, a proportionate ownership in the association, a fraction or percentage of the common expenses of the association and a portion of the votes in the association; and  (c) In a planned community, a fraction or percentage of the common expenses of the association and a portion of the votes in the association.  2. The declaration must state the formulas used to establish allocations of interests. Those allocations may not discriminate in favor of units owned by the declarant or an affiliate of the declarant.  3. If units may be added to or withdrawn from the common-interest community, the declaration must state the formulas to be used to reallocate the allocated interests among all units included in the common-interest community after the addition or withdrawal.  4. The declaration may provide:  (a) That different allocations of votes are made to the units on particular matters specified in the declaration;  (b) For cumulative voting only for the purpose of electing members of the executive board; and  (c) For class voting on specified issues affecting the class if necessary to protect valid interests of the class.  Except as otherwise provided in NRS 116.31032, a declarant may not utilize cumulative or class voting for the purpose of evading any limitation imposed on declarants by this chapter nor may units constitute a class because they are owned by a declarant.  5. Except for minor variations because of rounding, the sum of the liabilities for common expenses and, in a condominium, the sum of the undivided interests in the common elements allocated at any time to all the units must each equal one if stated as a fraction or 100 percent if stated as a percentage. In the event of discrepancy between an allocated interest and the result derived from application of the pertinent formula, the allocated interest prevails.  6. In a condominium, the common elements are not subject to partition, and any purported conveyance, encumbrance, judicial sale or other voluntary or involuntary transfer of an undivided interest in the common elements made without the unit to which that interest is allocated is void.  7. In a cooperative, any purported conveyance, encumbrance, judicial sale or other voluntary or involuntary transfer of an ownership interest in the association made without the possessory interest in the unit to which that interest is related is void.  (Added to NRS by 1991, 546; A 1993, 2359; 2011, 2423)
NV Rev Stat § 116.2108 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 116 - Common-Interest Ownership (Uniform Act)|NRS 116.2108 - Limited common elements.

  1. Except for the limited common elements described in subsections 2 and 4 of NRS 116.2102, the declaration must specify to which unit or units each limited common element is allocated. An allocation may not be altered without the consent of the units’ owners whose units are affected.  2. Except as the declaration otherwise provides, a limited common element may be reallocated by an amendment to the declaration executed by the units’ owners between or among whose units the reallocation is made. The persons executing the amendment shall provide a copy thereof to the association, which shall record it. The amendment must be recorded in the names of the parties and the common-interest community.  3. A common element not previously allocated as a limited common element may be so allocated only pursuant to provisions in the declaration made in accordance with paragraph (g) of subsection 1 of NRS 116.2105. The allocations must be made by amendments to the declaration.  (Added to NRS by 1991, 547)
NV Rev Stat § 116.2109 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 116 - Common-Interest Ownership (Uniform Act)|NRS 116.2109 - Plats.

  1. Plats are a part of the declaration, and are required for all common-interest communities except cooperatives. Each plat must be clear and legible and contain a certification that the plat contains all information required by this section.  2. Each plat must comply with the provisions of chapter 278 of NRS and show:  (a) The name and a survey of the area which is the subject of the plat;  (b) A sufficient description of the real estate;  (c) The extent of any encroachments by or upon any portion of the property which is the subject of the plat;  (d) The location and dimensions of all easements having a specific location and dimension which serve or burden any portion of the common-interest community;  (e) The location and dimensions, with reference to an established datum, of any vertical unit boundaries and that unit’s identifying number;  (f) The location with reference to an established datum of any horizontal unit boundaries not shown or projected on plats recorded pursuant to subsection 3 and that unit’s identifying number; and  (g) The location and dimensions of limited common elements, including porches, balconies and patios, other than parking spaces and the other limited common elements described in subsections 2 and 4 of NRS 116.2102.  3. The plats must show or project any units in which the declarant has reserved the right to create additional units or common elements (paragraph (h) of subsection 1 of NRS 116.2105), identified appropriately.  4. Unless the declaration provides otherwise, when the horizontal boundaries of part of a unit located outside a building have the same elevation as the horizontal boundaries of the inside part, the elevations need not be depicted on the plats.  5. Upon exercising any developmental right, the declarant shall record new or amended plats necessary to conform to the requirements of subsection 2.  6. Each plat must be certified by a professional land surveyor.  (Added to NRS by 1991, 547; A 1993, 2360; 2009, 1612)
NV Rev Stat § 116.211 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 116 - Common-Interest Ownership (Uniform Act)|NRS 116.211 - Exercise of developmental rights.

  1. To exercise any developmental right reserved under paragraph (h) of subsection 1 of NRS 116.2105, the declarant shall prepare, execute and record an amendment to the declaration (NRS 116.2117) and in a condominium or planned community comply with NRS 116.2109. The declarant is the owner of any units thereby created. The amendment to the declaration must assign an identifying number to each new unit created, and, except in the case of subdivision or conversion of units described in subsection 2, reallocate the allocated interests among all units. The amendment must describe any common elements and any limited common elements thereby created and, in the case of limited common elements, designate the unit to which each is allocated to the extent required by NRS 116.2108.  2. Developmental rights may be reserved within any real estate added to the common-interest community if the amendment adding that real estate includes all matters required by NRS 116.2105 or 116.2106, as the case may be, and, in a condominium or planned community, the plats include all matters required by NRS 116.2109. This provision does not extend the time limit on the exercise of developmental rights imposed by the declaration pursuant to paragraph (h) of subsection 1 of NRS 116.2105.  3. Whenever a declarant exercises a developmental right to subdivide or convert a unit previously created into additional units, common elements, or both:  (a) If the declarant converts the unit entirely to common elements, the amendment to the declaration must convey it to the association or reallocate all the allocated interests of that unit among the other units as if that unit had been taken by eminent domain (NRS 116.1107); and  (b) If the declarant subdivides the unit into two or more units, whether or not any part of the unit is converted into common elements, the amendment to the declaration must reallocate all the allocated interests of the unit among the units created by the subdivision in any reasonable manner prescribed by the declarant.  4. If the declaration provides, pursuant to paragraph (h) of subsection 1 of NRS 116.2105, that all or a portion of the real estate is subject to a right of withdrawal:  (a) If all the real estate is subject to withdrawal, and the declaration does not describe separate portions of real estate subject to that right, none of the real estate may be withdrawn after a unit has been conveyed to a purchaser; and  (b) If any portion is subject to withdrawal, it may not be withdrawn after a unit in that portion has been conveyed to a purchaser.  (Added to NRS by 1991, 548; A 2009, 1613)
NV Rev Stat § 116.2112 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 116 - Common-Interest Ownership (Uniform Act)|NRS 116.2112 - Relocation of boundaries between adjoining units.

  1. Subject to the provisions of the declaration and other provisions of law, the boundaries between adjoining units may be relocated by an amendment to the declaration upon application to the association by the owners of those units. If the owners of the adjoining units have specified a reallocation between their units of their allocated interests, the application must state the proposed reallocations. Unless the executive board determines, within 30 days, that the reallocations are unreasonable, the association shall prepare an amendment that identifies the units involved and states the reallocations. The amendment must be executed by those units’ owners, contain words of conveyance between them, and, on recordation, be indexed in the name of the grantor and the grantee, and in the grantee’s index in the name of the association.  2. The association:  (a) In a condominium or planned community shall prepare and record plats necessary to show the altered boundaries between adjoining units, and their dimensions and identifying numbers; and  (b) In a cooperative shall prepare and record amendments to the declaration necessary to show or describe the altered boundaries between adjoining units, and their dimensions and identifying numbers.

NV Rev Stat § 116.2113 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 116 - Common-Interest Ownership (Uniform Act)|NRS 116.2113 - Subdivision of units.

  1. If the declaration expressly so permits, a unit may be subdivided into two or more units. Subject to the declaration and law other than this chapter, upon application of the unit’s owner to subdivide a unit, the association shall prepare, execute and record an amendment to the declaration, including, in a condominium or planned community, the plats, subdividing that unit.  2. The amendment to the declaration must be executed by the owner of the unit to be subdivided, assign an identifying number to each unit created, and reallocate the allocated interests formerly allocated to the subdivided unit to the new units in any reasonable manner prescribed by the owner of the subdivided unit or on any other basis the declaration requires.

NV Rev Stat § 116.2114 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 116 - Common-Interest Ownership (Uniform Act)|NRS 116.2114 - Monuments as boundaries.

The existing physical boundaries of a unit or the physical boundaries of a unit reconstructed in substantial accordance with the description contained in the original declaration are its legal boundaries, rather than the boundaries derived from the description contained in the original declaration, regardless of vertical or lateral movement of the building or minor variance between those boundaries and the boundaries derived from the description contained in the original declaration. This section does not relieve a unit’s owner of liability in case of his or her willful misconduct or relieve a declarant or any other person of liability for failure to adhere to any plats or, in a cooperative, to any representation in the public offering statement.  (Added to NRS by 1991, 550; A 2009, 1614)
NV Rev Stat § 116.2115 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 116 - Common-Interest Ownership (Uniform Act)|NRS 116.2115 - Use for purposes of sales.

A declarant may maintain offices for sales and management, and models in units or on common elements in the common-interest community only if the declaration so provides. Subject to any limitations in the declaration, a declarant may maintain signs on the common elements advertising the common-interest community. This section is subject to the provisions of other state law and to local ordinances.  (Added to NRS by 1991, 550; A 1993, 2361)

2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 116 - Common-Interest Ownership (Uniform Act)|NRS 116.2116 - Easement rights; validity of existing restrictions.

  1. Subject to the declaration, a declarant has an easement through the common elements as may be reasonably necessary to discharge the declarant’s obligations or exercise special declarant’s rights, whether arising under this chapter or reserved in the declaration.  2. Subject to paragraph (f) of subsection 1 of NRS 116.3102 and NRS 116.3112, the units’ owners have an easement in the common elements for purposes of access to their units.  3. Subject to the declaration and any rules adopted by the association, the units’ owners have a right to use the common elements that are not limited common elements and all real estate that must become common elements for the purposes for which they were intended.  4. Unless the terms of an easement in favor of an association prohibit a residential use of a servient estate, if the owner of the servient estate has obtained all necessary approvals required by law or any covenant, condition or restriction on the property, the owner may use such property in any manner authorized by law without obtaining any additional approval from the association. Nothing in this subsection authorizes an owner of a servient estate to impede the lawful and contractual use of the easement.  5. The provisions of subsection 4 do not abrogate any easement, restrictive covenant, decision of a court, agreement of a party or any contract, governing document or declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions, or any other decision, rule or regulation that a local governing body or other entity that makes decisions concerning land use or planning is authorized to make or enact that exists before October 1, 1999, including, without limitation, a zoning ordinance, permit or approval process or any other requirement of a local government or other entity that makes decisions concerning land use or planning.

NV Rev Stat § 116.21183 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 116 - Common-Interest Ownership (Uniform Act)|NRS 116.21183 - Rights of creditors following termination.

  1. Following termination of a condominium or planned community, creditors of the association holding liens on the units, which were recorded before termination, may enforce those liens in the same manner as any lienholder. All other creditors of the association are to be treated as if they had perfected liens on the units immediately before termination.  2. In a cooperative, the declaration may provide that all creditors of the association have priority over any interests of units’ owners and creditors of units’ owners. In that event, following termination, creditors of the association holding liens on the cooperative which were recorded before termination may enforce their liens in the same manner as any lienholder, and any other creditor of the association is to be treated as if the creditor had perfected a lien against the cooperative immediately before termination. Unless the declaration provides that all creditors of the association have that priority:  (a) The lien of each creditor of the association which was perfected against the association before termination becomes, upon termination, a lien against each unit’s owner’s interest in the unit as of the date the lien was perfected;  (b) Any other creditor of the association is to be treated upon termination as if the creditor had perfected a lien against each unit’s owner’s interest immediately before termination;  (c) The amount of the lien of an association’s creditor described in paragraphs (a) and (b) against each of the units’ owners’ interest must be proportionate to the ratio which each unit’s liability for common expenses bears to the liability for common expenses of all of the units;  (d) The lien of each creditor of each unit’s owner which was perfected before termination continues as a lien against that owner’s unit as of the date the lien was perfected; and  (e) The assets of the association must be distributed to all units’ owners and all lienholders as their interests may appear in the order described in this section.  Creditors of the association are not entitled to payment from any unit’s owner in excess of the amount of the creditor’s lien against that owner’s interest.  (Added to NRS by 1991, 553)
