  Shouting HOA Board Members

  by PaulG, 8 months ago

  Loud shouting at Hampden Court homeowners by HOA Board members at Board Meetings has been a problem for several years, as well as other unethical behavior.

  Here is a recent email about the matter sent to the RowCal Manager.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Tanya Valis,

  
  

  At the last HOA Board Meeting in February, board members were shouting at homeowners, and even each other. This behavior is extremely unprofessional and unethical. I have documented board members shouting during HOA Board meetings in the past in a small room where it is not necessary, nor at a virtual meeting. And, it is angry shouting which is...

  Thank You Task Force

  by gvito, 8 months ago

  I have spent probably too many hours of my life listening to the HOA Task Force meetings. They finished their work on Friday. Regardless of my initial skepticism, many of their conclusions and suggestions were well-thought-out and some might be an improvement over the current situation.

  
  

  However, I am quite disappointed that the Colorado Legislators seldom if ever attended, even after the meeting dates were changed to accommodate their schedules. I thought they were willing to listen to all sides of the debate about what HOAs should be able to do, but that obviously was not the case. That is... Continue reading

  HOA Homeowners' Rights Taskforce Final Meeting

  by HOA United, 8 months ago
  

  Today was the last meeting for the HOA Homeowners' Rights Taskforce. Thanks to all the Task Force volunteers for their engagement! Today's list of ~50 items was impressive and it provided a tangible sense of the culmination of many months of deliberation.

  🎗️ Have you taken DORA's community association / HOA survey? The results are priceless (current through December 2023). Please consider this Board Meetings survey. The way meetings function is critical, wouldn't you agree?!

  🤝🗣️🔊Homeowners: please connect with other homeowners! That's the way to make progress. No matter if you live in a condo, co-op... Continue reading

  HOA Hail Claim Assessment Deductible - not being assessed equally as a common expense

  by SUMARE, 8 months ago

  My pre-CCIOA community that has both condo buildings and townhomes experienced a hail event last June. The Association's insurance policy contains an endorsement for the specific peril of wind/hail. The endorsement carries a 5% deductible as part of the total insurance proceeds and is based on the valuation of all buildings, for which owners have been notified to carry H06 insurance annually. The Association insurance is for Replacement Cost Value coverage on all buildings and was paid for by all Owners. The policy windstorm or hail deductible for the policy is calculated separately for, and applies separately to, each building... Continue reading

  Flooding private property from nearby ditch

  by Caldwell , 8 months ago
  I live in a HOA subdivision. In this subdivision 1/4 of the homes on the property get flooded every year. The stockholders says it’s the homeowners responsibility and the ditch owners are not going to do anything about it.

  PLEASE HELP!!!!!

  Special Treatment

  by gvito, 8 months ago
  It looks like the members of the Task Force will soon complete their work. I will be interested to see the final report. As a faithful dues-paying member of an HOA I need to understand why the bulk of the attention of the Task Force and those who write here is in sympathy with and advocating for those who do not pay their dues. Perhaps I am confused, but it seems to me that adults who manage to jump through all the hoops to purchase a home including filling out massive amounts of paperwork, attending a closing, paying earnest money...

  Ideas for Task Force Consideration

  by LK, 8 months ago

  Thank you for your hard work on the HOA task force. Based on the directives of HB23-1105, your committee discussions, homeowner experiences, and expert testimony, please accept the following ideas for your consideration:

  EDUCATION

  • Review Colorado HOAs which are non-compliant with the registration and renewal process. Impose fines/penalties for failure to register or renew. Consider increasing the registration fee.
  • Create an outreach program in DORA HOA Center along with the registration process encouraging Board of Directors to attend an initial one-hour information session reviewing DORA HOA, CCIOA, major responsibilities.
  • Create an outreach program in DORA HOA Center encouraging Community Association... Continue reading

  Re: Regulation of HOA Management Companies

  by Ginger, 8 months ago
  It is heartening to see progress with HB 24-1078 currently under consideration in the state legislature and am hopeful this time Gov. Polis will sign it. Given the degree of Wild West corruption well documented throughout the current HOA "industry," I suggest that the following verbiage needs to be added, if not already in place (& it's a testament to just how off the rails the situation is, that this would need to be spelled out in the statutes: Owners & employees of Community Association management companies cannot simultaneously serve as board of directors for the same Associations they are...

  "Opt in" for Colorado HOA

  by Ginger, 8 months ago
  I agree with the poster who provided the very helpful educational background re TABOR and CCIOA. How about a ballot initiative to cancel/make illegal the DEED restrictions at least for single family homes that do not share a roof or plumbing and are otherwise not connected..... make illegal these restrictions that allegedly "run with the land" where developers (who are often long gone) have irrevocably "deeded land" into an HOA corporation. Another aspect of this could be that if less than 50% of vacant lots have been developed in an HOA development after a time limit, the deed restriction expires... Continue reading

  Allocated Interest Calculation for an HOA

  by srjdad, 8 months ago

  Allocated Interest in an HOA:
  Background:When a Condo HOA is being developed, a developer generally hires an attorney to write a Declaration for the to be HOA.In that Declaration an important aspect is a definition of “Allocated Interest” for the condo unit owners. (this is how HOA Dues are based)As you likely know the definition of Allocated interest is the square footage of a specific unit divided by the total square footage of the entire HOA Complex square footage.The condo unit square footage is the developers plans for the size of a specific unit. It is used in the
