Nevada common interest community associations — including planned communities and condominiums — are governed by the Nevada Common-Interest Ownership Uniform Act (NRS Chapter 116), administered by the Nevada Real Estate Division (NRED). The 2025 Nevada Legislature added a new homeowner display right that Nevada boards need to understand and implement before July 1, 2025.

2025: Religious and Cultural Items Display Rights (Effective July 1, 2025)
SB 201 — Religious & Cultural Items Display Rights
Senate Bill 201 creates a new statutory right for Nevada common interest community owners to display religious or cultural items in the space they exclusively control (such as their unit entry, door, or patio).
Key provisions:
- **HOAs may not prohibit** a qualifying religious or cultural item display outright.
- **Reasonable rules are permitted** — associations may set rules about placement within the owner's exclusive-use space.
- **Size cap:** Associations may set a general size cap of no more than 36 inches by 12 inches for the display.
- **Enforcement deadline:** Effective July 1, 2025. Any existing rule or governing document provision that flatly prohibits such displays is unenforceable after that date.
Nevada boards should review their rules and architectural guidelines to ensure that any display restrictions comply with SB 201 — permitting display while regulating placement and size within the stated limits.

What Nevada HOA Boards Should Do Now
1. Review your current rules for any blanket prohibition on door, entry, or patio decorations — if those rules would prohibit religious or cultural items, they must be revised.
2. If your governing documents include a prohibition on all door or entry items, consult counsel on whether an amendment is needed or whether a rule carve-out is sufficient.
3. Update enforcement procedures — violations of SB 201 expose the association to challenge under NRS Chapter 116.
4. Communicate the change to homeowners so they understand what display rights they have under the new law.
