  I live in Sunrise Ridge (Sub 2) - First off my association Board does not like me! I hold a Real Estate License. I was on the (Sub 2) Board for 5 years. I wanted to install a pergola over my cement patio because it faces west and I needed more shade on the back side of my home to keep my air conditioner from coming on constantly. My HOA looked into it and decided to ask an attorney for advice - Not sure what the attorney said but the answer from them was no and they charged me for... Continue reading

  Elkhorn Ranch

  by In Elkhorn, about 1 year ago

  If I understand correctly, the declarant has maintained control beyond the allotted time and despite being “voted out” on an official vote - has remained the “final say”. we have had various issues where the vote has been approved by majority homeowners for change and he - as an individual - has not allowed the change despite majority homeowners saying yes. Metal barns vs wood is one example. Another is that the neighborhood spent over a year working to change restrictions on animals - allowing for a few hens - we had enough signatures to bring it to an official... Continue reading

  "Courtesy" violation notices

  by Becky Hammer, about 1 year ago

  My husband and I have received a "courtesy" violation notice after a neighbor submitted a complaint. This neighbor is having drainage issues on his property. He has the opinion that our landscaping has caused his issues. We have submitted the appeal to the management company, and it has been over 6 weeks waiting for an answer. The management company has indicated that they are waiting to hear from the District Manager before they can proceed.

  My primary complaint is that the management company has addressed a neighbor complaint as a violation. I feel that there should be a different process... Continue reading

  Water conservation vs. 60% livable plants in your backyard

  by jtsimms, about 1 year ago
  I live in the Mesa Pines North section of Canterberry Crossing in Parker and redid my backyard this summer. We wanted to minimize the amount of grass and plants to reduce our water bill and the yard is on a slope so most of the area is unusable anyway. My HOA has a rule that is not enforced for existing yards which states I need 60% of my yard covered by livable plants. I sent them pictures of houses in my neighborhood, some of which are all rocks and a concrete slab for a patio, and asked them why I'm... Continue reading

  Not easy. How can government help?

  by Carol Green, about 1 year ago
  I've lived in several HOAs over the years and have been on two HOA Boards. This last time, I volunteered to get to know my neighbors better and to help build a sense of "community" among residents. It's a community of about 300 condo units built in the 1960s. In short succession, a number of disasters struck -- gigantic insurance premiums with little advance warning, supply chain problems running up the cost of major projects, three water line breaks. To shorten the story, our Board is struggling with maintenance deferred by prior boards and prior reluctance to adequately fund reserves... Continue reading

  President Eagle Cliffs Merged Association

  by Jeanie Hand, about 1 year ago
  I am serving my 2nd term as President of our HOA. I had previously served for 5 years from 2012 to 2017. It's a tough job, but rewarding when you have a good community association management company, and you are assigned a professional manager who is knowledgeable and responsive. We have suffered in the past from a lack of this support, but now we have a company that meets our needs. We are a small community of 41 units (23 patio homes and 18 condos). I believe HOAs serve an important role in keeping a community looking good and feeling... Continue reading

  Failure of Leadership by the Governor

  by Robert Racansky, about 1 year ago
  

  • I first discussed H.O.A. issues with my Congress Critter -- I forget his name, but I hear he's the Governor of Colorado now -- 11 years ago, on August 29 2012.

  • I met him again about half a dozen times over the next three to four years, until he made it clear to me that he was not interested in hearing about H.O.A. issues.

  • Since becoming Governor in 2019, he has done nothing to help H.O.A.-burdened homeowners. Instead, he simply waits for the legislature to send him flawed bills to sign.

  • There are things he could... Continue reading

  Lake Sherwood HOA

  by Cheryle, about 1 year ago

  We have owned our home for 33 years at this address. We have followed the regulations given to us when we purchased the home that are the HOA’s rules and regulations.

  Our home is located on a curve of the street, Brookwood Drive. It makes backing out of the driveway extremely dangerous due to limited visibility on both sides-north and south directions. To further the danger, the drivers speed down the street at all hours! We have asked the city and have signed petitions to have speed bumps added to our street. I am sure the HOA has been made...

  Lack of Homeowner Maintenance and Covenant Enforcement is Affecting Our Property Value

  by Gabi, about 1 year ago
  We purchased our house in an HOA to preserve the value of our investment and be part of a well maintained community. Unfortuantelly, we are informed by our management company that the HOA and our Board no longer have a lot of tools to enforce our covenants. In my opinion, all the homeowners in our community should comply with the covenants and the Board should be allowed to held owners accountable.

  It is not fair to the owners that are compliant with the HOA covenants to contribute with additional funds for delinquent owners or for maintance the HOA has to... Continue reading
