1. A reasonable assessment upon any
condominium made in accordance with a recorded declaration of restrictions
permitted by NRS 117.060 shall be a debt
of the owner thereof at the time the assessment is made. The amount of any such
assessment plus any other charges thereon, such as interest, costs (including
attorneys fees), and penalties, as such may be provided for in the declaration
of restrictions, shall be and become a lien upon the condominium assessed when
the management body causes to be recorded with the county recorder of the
county in which such condominium is located a notice of assessment, which shall
state:
(a) The amount of such assessment and such other
charges thereon as may be authorized by the declaration of restrictions;
(b) A description of the condominium against
which the same has been assessed; and
(c) The name of the record owner thereof.
Such notice
shall be signed by an authorized representative of the management body or as
otherwise provided in the declaration of restrictions. Upon payment of the
assessment and charges in connection with which such notice has been so
recorded, or other satisfaction thereof, the management body shall cause to be
recorded a further notice stating the satisfaction and the release of the lien
thereof.
2. Such lien shall be prior to all other
liens recorded subsequent to the recordation of the notice of assessment except
that the declaration of restrictions may provide for the subordination thereof
to any other liens and encumbrances. Unless sooner satisfied and released or
the enforcement thereof initiated as provided in subsection 3, such lien shall
expire and be of no further force or effect 1 year from the date of recordation
of the notice of assessment, but the 1-year period may be extended by the
management body for not to exceed 1 additional year by recording a written
extension thereof.
3. Such lien may be enforced by sale by
the management body, its agent or attorney, after failure of the owner to pay
such an assessment in accordance with the terms of the declaration of
restrictions. The sale shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of
Covenants Nos. 6, 7 and 8 of NRS 107.030 ,
and NRS 107.090 insofar as they are
consistent with the provisions of NRS
117.075 , or in any other manner permitted by law. Unless otherwise provided
in the declaration of restrictions, the management body, if it is a
corporation, cooperative association, partnership or natural person, shall have
power to bid in the condominium at foreclosure sale and to hold, lease,
mortgage and convey the same.
