In a September 2014 ruling, the Nevada Supreme Court held that a homeowners association’s (HOA) non-judicial foreclosure sale can extinguish a mortgage lender’s previously-recorded first deed of trust on a property if that foreclosure is to recover assessments categorized as “super priority” amounts (generally nine months of regular assessments, plus any amounts required for abatement) as set forth in Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 116.3116. SFR Invest. Pool I, LLC v. U.S. Bank, N.A. et al., 334 P.3d 408 (Nev. Sept. 18, 2014). HOAs have conducted foreclosures of HOA assessment liens and sold properties at auction for a fraction of the amount owed to the lender – in some instances as low as $3,000. These sales were often made to third party purchasers or investors. The winning bidder at the foreclosure sales then frequently followed up with a quiet title action, claiming to own the property free and clear of all liens, including the lender’s previously-recorded first deed of trust on the property.
