HOA rules in Nebraska

Nebraska splits condominiums and ordinary homeowners' associations. Condominiums created on or after January 1, 1984 are under the Nebraska Condominium Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 76-825 to 76-894. Older condominiums may remain under the Condominium Property Act (§§ 76-801 to 76-823) with selected modern sections applied for later events. Non-condo HOAs have no mega-governance statute, but § 52-2001 supplies a recorded-notice assessment lien framework that expressly excludes condominium associations. Confirm which track applies, then confirm the current Nebraska Revised Statutes text and your documents. This page is general information, not legal advice.

Under § 76-860(a)(11), a condominium association may, after notice and opportunity to be heard, levy reasonable fines for declaration, bylaw, and rule violations. Section 52-2001's HOA definition likewise ties fining to notice and opportunity to be heard. Neither retrieved section sets a numbered hearing-request day count or a statutory dollar fine cap. Do not invent either.

Condo assessment liens (§ 76-874) and non-condo HOA liens (§ 52-2001) both generally require recording a notice stating the dollar amount, extinguish unless enforcement begins within three years, and require a recordable unpaid-assessment statement within ten business days of written request. Condo records must be reasonably available (§ 76-876) — no numbered inspection-day deadline. Incorporated non-condo members may inspect under §§ 21-19,165–21-19,166 with at least five business days' written notice. Nebraska has no statewide HOA ombudsman on this page.
