What should I do if I got an HOA violation notice in Nevada?

Don't ignore it, and don't just pay. Check whether the HOA gave proper notice, offered a hearing, and is enforcing the rule evenly. Requesting a formal hearing often pauses fines while you dispute the violation.

Can requesting a hearing stop the fines?

In many states a timely, formal hearing request pauses enforcement until the board hears your side. CureProof generates a hearing request tailored to your notice.

Can my HOA fine me for solar panels or an antenna in Nevada?

Often, no — or not without a fight. Nevada law includes specific protections that can override an HOA rule for solar panels or an antenna, and separately requires your HOA to follow proper notice and hearing procedures before it fines you. Both are grounds to challenge the violation.
