New Schedule of Fines (adopted Sept 1, 2026)

In effect since Sept 1: $500 for 5 to 15 mph over, $25 for an open garage door, and vague categories like 'nuisance' and 'unsightly.' Owners question its legality under NRS 116.

Active

Proptia gate and access control

Open gates, lockouts, guest and vendor failures, and thin attendant coverage, especially at the south gate overnight. The board says the budget can't cover 5 pm to 7 am attendants.

Watching

Dues, assessments, and the reserve study

Dues run about $5,000 a year and keep rising. The reserve study has been requested and not produced. Owners suspect the August survey is groundwork for a new assessment.

Watching

Untransferred developer land and the sales center

Land mapped as common area was never deeded to the association, and the sales center is still developer-owned. Raised 18 months ago; no known action.

Watching

Board survey (Aug 28, 2026)

The board's Aug 28 survey had a broken rating-vs-ranking question and worked poorly on desktop. Nobody has said what the results will be used for.

Watching

Selective enforcement - string lights, holiday décor

Long-standing string lights and decor suddenly cited, rules 'interpreted' by individuals, and a new 45/60-day holiday window in the fine schedule.
