Amendment of declaration.

1. Except in cases of amendments that may be executed by a declarant under subsection 6 of NRS 116.2109 or NRS 116.211, or by the association under NRS 116.1107, subsection 4 of NRS 116.2106, subsection 3 of NRS 116.2108, subsection 1 of NRS 116.2112 or NRS 116.2113, or by certain units’ owners under subsection 2 of NRS 116.2108, subsection 1 of NRS 116.2112, subsection 2 of NRS 116.2113 or subsection 2 of NRS 116.2118, and except as limited by subsection 4, the declaration, including any plats and plans, may be amended only by vote or agreement of units’ owners of units to which at least a majority of the votes in the association are allocated, or any larger majority the declaration specifies. The declaration may specify a smaller number only if all of the units are restricted exclusively to nonresidential use.

2. No action to challenge the validity of an amendment adopted by the association pursuant to this section may be brought more than one year after the amendment is recorded.

3. Every amendment to the declaration must be recorded in every county in which any portion of the common-interest community is located and is effective only upon recordation. An amendment, except an amendment pursuant to NRS 116.2112, must be indexed in the grantee’s index in the name of the common-interest community and the association and in the grantor’s index in the name of the parties executing the amendment.

4. Except to the extent expressly permitted or required by other provisions of this chapter, no amendment may change the boundaries of any unit, the allocated interests of a unit or the uses to which any unit is restricted, in the absence of unanimous consent of the units’ owners affected and the consent of a majority of the owners of the remaining units.

5. Amendments to the declaration required by this chapter to be recorded by the association must be prepared, executed, recorded and certified on behalf of the association by any officer of the association designated for that purpose or, in the absence of designation, by the president of the association.
