1. The licensee, permittee or owner-developer shall file an answer to the charges with the Commission not later than 30 days after service of the notice and other documents described in subsection 4 of NRS 645.680. The answer must contain an admission or denial of the allegations contained in the complaint and any defenses upon which the licensee, permittee or owner-developer will rely.

2. The answer may be served by delivery to the Commission, or by mailing the answer by certified mail to the principal office of the Division.
3. No proceeding to suspend, revoke or deny the renewal of any license or registration of an owner-developer may be maintained unless it is commenced by the giving of notice to the licensee, permittee or owner-developer within 5 years after the date of the act charged, whether of commission or omission, except:
(a) If the charges are based upon a misrepresentation, or failure to disclose, the period does not commence until the discovery of facts which do or should lead to the discovery of the misrepresentation or failure to disclose; and
(b) Whenever any action or proceeding is instituted to which the Division, licensee, permittee or owner-developer is a party and which involves the conduct of the licensee, permittee or owner-developer in the transaction with which the charges are related, the running of the 5-year period with respect to the institution of a proceeding pursuant to this chapter to suspend, revoke or deny the renewal of the license, permit or registration is suspended during the pendency of the action or proceeding.
