What a Nevada Resale Package Actually Contains

If your house is in an association and you are selling, someone is going to say the words “resale package” and then everyone is going to wait around for two weeks. Here is what the thing actually is, what it costs, and why it is so often the slowest item in a Nevada closing.

The short version

Nevada law requires a seller in a common-interest community to give the buyer a package of association documents before the sale closes. It is governed by NRS Chapter 116, and the association or its management company produces it. The seller requests it and, by custom, pays for it.

It exists so a buyer knows what they are joining: the rules, the finances, and whether the community is in good shape or quietly in trouble.

What is inside

Contents vary by association, but a Nevada resale package generally includes the following.

• The governing documents. Declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions, bylaws, and current rules and regulations. This is the bulk of the page count and most of what nobody reads.
• The current operating budget, or a summary of it, showing what the association takes in and spends.
• Reserve information. What is set aside for future repairs and whether the reserves are funded at a reasonable level. A buyer paying attention reads this before the CC&Rs.
• A statement of assessments, including the current amount, the payment schedule, and anything unpaid on your unit.
• Other charges and fees the buyer will owe, such as transfer or capital contribution fees.
• Pending items. Known unsatisfied judgments, pending litigation involving the association, and anticipated special assessments.
• Insurance information about the association’s coverage.

The resale package is not the demand

These get confused constantly, including by people who should know better.

The resale package is the disclosure document set for the buyer. The demand, sometimes called a statement of account or escrow demand, is the figure escrow needs: exactly what must be paid to the association at closing, good through a specific date. Two different documents, sometimes from two different offices, sometimes with two separate fees.

Order both early. Ordering one and assuming it covers the other is a classic way to lose a week.

Why it takes so long

Nevada sets a deadline for the association to furnish the package after a written request, and associations do generally meet it. The problem is that the deadline is measured from the request, and the request often gets made late.

Then there are the local complications. A Summerlin home frequently sits under two associations, a master and a village, which means two packages from two management companies on two separate schedules. If the account is with a collection firm, the demand may come from the firm rather than the manager, and the two records sometimes disagree.

None of this is dramatic. It is just paperwork moving at the speed of somebody else’s queue, which is exactly why it should be started on day one instead of week three.

What to do as the seller

Request it in writing the moment you decide to sell, before you have a buyer. Ask for the resale package and the demand together. Ask what each costs and how they are delivered. If you are in more than one association, ask each of them. And if there is a balance owed, ask for an itemized ledger while you are at it, because that is a separate conversation worth having early. See how to read your HOA ledger.

Doing all of that in one email at the start removes the single most common cause of a delayed closing in an association community.

Common questions

Who pays for the resale package?

By custom the seller does. Fees vary by association and management company, and there is often a separate fee for the demand or for rush delivery.

Do I need one if I am selling to a cash buyer?

The disclosure requirement applies to sales in a common-interest community regardless of who the buyer is, and escrow needs the demand in any event to pay the association correctly at closing.

What if I owe the association money?

The balance is paid from the sale proceeds at closing. You do not need to clear it first. See selling a house with an HOA lien in Nevada.

What if my association is slow?

Follow up in writing and keep the record. If an association is not meeting its obligations, the Office of the Ombudsman at the Nevada Real Estate Division handles homeowner complaints.
