What is the law of Las Vegas Nevada on how many dogs are allowed in a North Las Vegas community residence and what can the home owners association do about it?

Answer 1

Your governing documents -- including the Covenants, Conditions, Rules and Regulations, the By-Laws and any board meeting minutes or special resolutions in force for your community -- governing dogs will document the number of dogs allowed in the residence.

These documents may also limit the size and perhaps the breed allowed.

This guideline will conform to applicable local laws regarding the number, size and breed of dogs allowed in a residence.

The association can enforce its guidelines and issue a violation to an owner who has too many animals, animals that are too large or animals of a prohibited breed.

An owner in violation is entitled to a hearing where the owner can present a case and request an exception to the guidelines.

The board, however, has the final rule as to the the guidelines and how an owner is required to follow them.


If the number of animals allowed by the local law is more than the number allowed by the association, the association's number is the final number allowed.
