Where can you go for help with an HOA problem?

Find you HOA documents and read them.  Your HOA documents determine what your HOA Board can and can not do.  Grab them and settle in for a read.

Now most HOA's have their documents online for easy access.

You can ask an HOA expert a question and get a response.  The Las Vegas Review Journal HOA columnist is available for questions.  She posts her answers in the Sunday paper.  Click here.

Not my favorite strategy but sometimes Board Members or Ex Board Members, who may be friends,  can help you navigate the waters on issue with an HOA.  

There are a few great HOA experts for hire in Las Vegas.  This may be an alternative solution if you have the funds to spend and need information quickly. An internet search can help you find an expert.

Every HOA pays a fee to the Ombudsman's Office.  They field questions from homeowners and HOA Board Members.  You can call and ask their opinion.  They are not a substitute for legal advice but can help.

There number is (702) 486-4480.

You can file a formal complaint against your HOA.  The Division of Real Estate has resources online if you want to do this.  Click here to go to their page.

Sometimes you just need sound legal advice.  Call a lawyer.
