The rule
NRS 116.3108: a special meeting of the owners must be called if owners holding at least 10% of the allocated votes (or a lower percentage in the bylaws) sign a petition requesting it. The petition must state the purpose. The board must then notice and hold the meeting within the statutory window.
Doing it right
- Check the bylaws for the exact percentage and any form requirements.
- 10% of ~468 lots ≈ 47 lots. Votes are per lot; one signature per lot, from an owner of record.
- Paper signatures (or a properly verified electronic signature process) - an online poll or a WhatsApp “yes” is not a petition.
- State the purpose narrowly. “To discuss the Schedule of Fines adopted Sept 1, 2026 and gate operations” is a purpose; “to discuss the board” is not.
- Deliver it to the secretary or manager and keep a copy with proof of delivery.
What a special meeting can and can’t do
It can compel the board to appear, present, and hear owners on the stated purpose. Whether it can bind the board depends on what the CC&Rs and bylaws reserve to owner votes (removal of directors, for example, has its own process under NRS 116.31036).
This site’s advisory polls are designed as a signal: if a poll shows 10%+ of lots want a special meeting, that’s the moment to circulate the paper petition.
