How can a CIC be terminated?

The termination of a Common Interest Community (CIC) typically requires a significant level of consensus among the homeowners. In Nevada, the law specifies that at least 80% of homeowners must approve the termination for it to be valid. This high threshold is designed to ensure that a large majority of owners agree on this significant decision, which fundamentally affects the community and its governance.

Reaching an 80% approval helps to safeguard individual homeowners' interests and maintains stability within the community, as a public measure like termination can have major implications such as changes to property ownership, community resources, and financial stability.

In contrast, seeking only a majority or a lesser percentage of votes, such as 51% or anything below this high threshold, would not provide enough assurance that the decision reflects the collective will of the community. The same rationale applies to the time limit indicated in another option; simply having a duration like 25 years does not apply to the termination process directly, as it does not factor in homeowners' consensus as a prerequisite for termination.
