Your task force is very important to HOA homeowners in Colorado

I have owned homes in HOAs for 38 years because it has always been easy to sell a home in a well-run HOA when I have to relocate.


My experience with an HOA here in Colorado has been the best because we are managed by a professional company. The management company helps us follow all our documents, as well as Federal, State and County/City regulations and laws, estimate reserves needed, complete proactive maintenance, and get qualified contractors. They do the accounting, submit our registrations, and help make sure agendas, meetings and elections are done as required.

The homeowner meetings are held during business hours, but the advantage is the management company is present to make sure meetings are conducted properly. I have found the management company is impartial, so all homeowners get equal treatment, because we have a variety of owners–some are investors who rent their units. The company has a portal, so HOA documents and activities are available for review. The Board of Directors has an email alias, so they are available between meetings.

My experience is having written HOA policies and fines keeps everything fair and safe for all homeowners and guests. Rules on parking makes sure everyone has equal access to their unit, space for snow storage, and emergency vehicles can access the complex. Rules on use of common areas and owner modifications gives everyone reasonable privacy, quality of life, and maintains the complex’s appearance. My experience is our HOA is much more forgiving than any government agency when is comes to fines and late fees. My HOA will listen and try to solve issues without fines.

I have a concern about the new collections policy of an 18-month repayment period with a minimum of $25.00 a month. That policy treats an HOA like it is a business that has the ability to cut expenses, like lay people off, or stop services to stay solvent. In our HOA, I would be wondering how we are going to pay for snow plowing, roof repairs, insurance, accounting—basic operating expenses—if we do not have homeowners paying assessments on time.

Unlike an independent, non-HOA homeowner, my financial future and quality of life is connected to my fellow HOA owners. We all go up together or go down together. I ask your task force to please keep HOAs a reliable financial investment and quality of life option for Colorado residents.

Thank you.

I would like to advocate for prioritizing development of more outdoor recreation and nature-focused infrastructure!! We must prioritize supporting our beautiful (and vitally important) environment here in north TX. It benefits our physical and mental well-being to surround ourselves with greenery.

I think it’s important that residents have access to trails, green space, creeks, rivers, and lakes. Communities shouldn’t be surrounded by concrete if it isn’t necessary. Access to nature improves quality of life and gives families and children places to walk, play, exercise, and simply enjoy being outdoors. As Fort Worth grows, I would like to see more neighborhoods designed around these natural assets instead of away from them. Green space and access to water make communities more attractive, more enjoyable, and better places to live.

Everyone deserves parks and pretty areas, but Texan waterways are already messed up. I'm worried that in the process of inhabiting the areas that could be developed here, Texans are just gonna pollute our state more.

I am writing in strong support of development near Fort Worth's natural areas, trails, and water features, including our rivers, creeks, and lakes. These landscapes are among the city's most valuable and irreplaceable assets, and thoughtful development in their vicinity offers a tremendous opportunity to improve quality of life while deepening our community's relationship with the natural world. Expanding access to nature matters. Research consistently shows that time spent outdoors — walking trails, cycling greenways, fishing a creek bank, or simply sitting near water — improves physical health, reduces stress, and strengthens mental well-being. When Fort Worth invests in development that puts more residents within reach of these experiences, the health benefits ripple across the entire community. This is especially meaningful for residents in neighborhoods that have historically lacked access to green space and recreational amenities. Development near natural areas also has the power to cultivate environmental stewardship. When people live, work, and play close to rivers, trails, and open land, they develop a personal stake in protecting them. That sense of connection is one of the most powerful drivers of conservation behavior and civic engagement around environmental issues. However, I want to be clear that thoughtful, responsible planning is not optional — it is essential. Floodplains must be respected, not filled. Wildlife habitats must be buffered and preserved. Water quality in our creeks and rivers must be safeguarded from runoff, impervious surfaces, and the pressures of increased density. I urge the city to require rigorous environmental review, adopt low-impact development standards, and center community voices — especially those of residents who live closest to these natural areas — in every planning decision. With the right framework in place, development near Fort Worth's natural areas can be a model of how growth and environmental responsibility

I LOVE the Trinity Trails. I live far out in West Fort Worth and we don't have any parks I can walk to or places I can ride my bike safely without driving to the trails.
