Nebraska HOA Laws: What Homeowners Need to Know

Homeowners associations in Nebraska are primarily governed by no dedicated statute for planned-community HOAs — most rely on the Nebraska Nonprofit Corporation Act (Chapter 21), while condos follow the separate Nebraska Condominium Act (Chapter 76). If you're buying into, living in, or serving on the board of an HOA here, understanding the basics of this framework is worth doing before you need it.

Regulatory oversight

Nebraska doesn't have a dedicated HOA regulatory agency; disputes are generally handled through the courts.

What's notable about Nebraska's HOA law

• Nebraska does have a specific HOA lien statute for unpaid assessments, plus a municipal-custodianship provision that acts as a safety net if an HOA dissolves.
• The Condominium Act applies to condo regimes created after January 1, 1984.
• Non-condo planned communities operate largely on their recorded declaration and general nonprofit corporate law.

Good to know

Nebraska's dissolved-HOA municipal-custodianship rule is a useful safety net worth knowing about if your community's association is struggling financially.
