The General Rule
CC&Rs typically restrict properties to 'residential use only,' which affects home businesses. Remote work with no physical impact on the community is almost always allowed. Businesses that create violations include: client or customer traffic to your home, commercial signage on the property, commercial vehicles parked in the driveway, deliveries beyond normal residential volume, employees working at your home, and any business creating noise, smell, or visible commercial activity. Pure home offices are broadly protected.
Nevada-Specific Rules
Nevada §116 allows residential use restrictions in CC&Rs. Las Vegas-area HOAs commonly enforce these against home businesses with customer traffic.
Why Your CC&Rs May Be Different
State law sets the minimum floor — but your community's CC&Rs, bylaws, and board-adopted rules may be stricter, may include exceptions, or may have been amended recently. The only way to know exactly what applies to your community is to read your specific governing documents.
Most CC&Rs are 40–120 pages of dense legal language. Finding the exact section that answers your question can take 20–30 minutes — if you can find it at all.
