We're looking for your feedback on how HOAs are working here in Colorado.

The Colorado General Assembly recently passed HB23-1105: HOA Rights Task Force, creating two task forces aimed to investigate and present written reports on issues affecting those that work or live in HOAs in Colorado.

The HOA Rights Task Force’s main priorities are to study issues confronting HOA homeowners' rights, including:

  • Homeowners' associations' fining authority and practices

  • Foreclosure practices

  • Communications with homeowners

  • Availability and method of making certain documents available to HOA homeowners in the association

If you live in Colorado and work or reside in a homeowners association – we ask you to take part in our HOA stakeholder engagement activities (below). By taking our community survey or submitting your personal story, you are helping to shape the future of HOAs in Colorado.

All responses collected will be used to inform a final report to be presented to the Colorado General Assembly, the Governor’s Office, and the public.

    CCIOA Unintended Consequences - Need to Delineate Some Requirements

    by MW, 9 months ago

    Most folks don't realize the broad coverage of CCIOA when passing new HOA rules. There are quite a few small landowner associations that exist in rural areas with very simple missions. For example, ours is a landowners association in rural northern colorado (sagebrush country) that charges $3/acre PER YEAR. The vast majority of the budget is spent on maintaining 100 miles of private dirt roads in our association. Of the 350+ landowners, only 4 live up there year-round. These are mostly empty plots of land used for camping in the summer. The 1137 requirements have eaten up about a quarter... Continue reading

    WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD!

    by Jabberwocky, 9 months ago

    My first experience with our property owner’s association occurred before we even began construction. The property is a somewhat secluded five acre parcel on which we intended to build our home. My builder happened to have the opportunity to obtain some free fill dirt, which we needed for the project. The truck dumped the load, which couldn’t even be seen from the road, and the association promptly fined me $100 for beginning construction without a permit. I paid the fine without discussion, as the builder informed me that we saved more on the dirt than the cost of the fine... Continue reading

    A dream gone wrong

    by Jabberwocky, 9 months ago

    This story is about my neighbor in Pagosa Lakes and how their dream to build a dream home turned into a nightmare, thanks to the local HOA.

    Both are retired. He's a former Denver firefighter, and she’s a sign language interpreter. The house is an ambitious project which includes a detached barn on their 5 acre lot. The couple lives full time in our community, and works on their house every day. . . or at least they did until the property owner's association issued a "stop work order".

    Prior to that, they’d managed to overcome the many obstacles one... Continue reading

    Only one legitimate organization representing Colorado homeowners

    by Kathleen MacKenzie, 9 months ago
    Please appoint to the HB-1105 HOA Homeowners' Rights Task Force Stan Hrincevich of the Colorado HOA Forum. The Colorado HOA Forum is the only organization in the state working to protect the rights of the thousands of Colorado homeowners required to be part of a HOA. The Community Associations Institute masquerades as a homeowner advocate, when in fact it is the opposite. CAI represents the many unregulated entities who make money from volunteer HOA Boards, from management companies to attorneys. The interests of these groups will already be well-represented from what I can see of the HOA Task Force make-up... Continue reading
