Self-managed HOAs in Nevada avoid $52,000–$96,000/year in manager costs; however, Nevada law requires associations above certain thresholds to use a licensed manager.
Those savings can fund deferred maintenance, accelerate reserve contributions, reduce annual assessment increases, or be returned to homeowners — depending on your community's priorities.
