Untransferred developer land and the sales center

Land mapped as common area was never deeded to the association, and the sales center is still developer-owned. Raised 18 months ago; no known action.

What it is

Parcels shown as common area on the recorded final map were never deeded to the association. The sales center remains developer-owned. Reportedly 5–6 buildable lots with septic rights are involved.

Why it matters to you

Common area you don’t own is common area you can’t control - and land with development rights next to your lot is a material fact. An owner raised this with the board roughly 18 months ago; there is no known action since.

What the rules say

NRS 116.3102 gives the association the power to acquire, hold, and convey real property, and to institute litigation in its own name on matters affecting the community. The declaration and the final map define what was supposed to be common area.

What the board has said

No known response.

Current status

Watching. Needs: parcel numbers from the Assessor, the recorded map, and a written question to the board asking whether counsel has reviewed the conveyance.
