  Clear And Direct Law Emforcement Needed URGENTLY!

  by Angel888, 4 months ago

  Apparently HOA board members and property managers can break the law with complete impunity in Colorado. In my case, nearly one year ago another homeowner and I witnessed a board member silently mark a stack of ballots in the corner of a room. Those ballots were then handed to an employee of our property management company to count at the back of the room and out of view of homeowners assembled for the vote and meeting, and another employee of the property management company gleefully declare that a $58K assessment for an unnecessary paint job had passed, after homeowners had...

  Thank you

  by whoownsmyhome, 5 months ago
  I want to thank those brave individuals (save one) who came forward, under the most difficult circumstances to speak about their frustrations and difficulties with their HOAs. Three minutes is not enough time to identify and elaborate on situations that don't occur in the moment and occur over time. I believe the three minute rule was established to prevent the homeowner to fully present the problem and identify reasonable solutions. It was made even more difficult with the interruption of the timekeeper. Most people are not as experienced at public speaking as the task force members. The unfortunate disclosure of...

  Proxies

  by LRB, 5 months ago

  Just an observation regarding proxies mentioned at the Jan 2, 2024 HOA Task Force meeting. Proxy mining shouldn't be allowed; however, neither should a homeowner's ability to give a proxy to whomever they want. Limiting proxies limits homeowner's ability to give a proxy to the person of their choice if that person has reached the proxy limit. This can be problematic if the limit is quite low. Currently, directed proxies are allowed and I see nothing wrong with that and it is quite sad that the assumption that the proxy holder will be dishonest in voting was voiced at the...

  More Task Force Observations

  by gvito, 5 months ago
  I watched the January 2, 2024, HOA Task Force meeting which proceeded exactly as I thought it would. A self-selected group of disgruntled homeowners monopolized the discussion. There was no way to know if any of what they stated was true and obviously, there was no rebuttal from any management company or HOA Board that might have refuted the complaints lodged.

  
  

  But I did come to the conclusion that this Task Force will fail in their objective of presenting common sense solutions to HOA issues, because it is obvious that is not what many homeowners (nor Task Force members) want... Continue reading

  HOA Task Force

  by Cliff-BCII, 5 months ago

  The following comments are intended for the HOA Task Force to consider. I have been sitting in on all the Task Force meeting as an HOA homeowner of four condominiums in Aurora, CO and as a Board Member (Treasurer) of one of the Associations. The January 2nd, 2024 meeting was in my observation 95% occupied by the public describing the 5% of the dysfunctional HOAs and with the vast majority of the speakers venting about individual personal conflicts within their HOAs. I suspect if all facts were known a good share of those speakers would be found to be the... Continue reading

  2 CCIOA items for the taskforce to consider

  by 1150H, 5 months ago

  There are a couple of things that I think the HOA taskforce might wish to consider. Please pass these concerns along at the Jan. 2 meeting if possible.

  1. If I read CCIOA correctly, recording of HOA meetings is prohibited. I question the rationale of prohibiting the making of, referring to, and archiving of audio recordings of board and member meetings. Without a proper unbiased record, accuracy in writing of minutes and the precise wording of motions, for example, is severely challenged.

  Case in point: The actual motion at the directors meeting was “to proceed with the lawsuit if necessary”... Continue reading

  Speeding Drivers Impact Peaceful Enjoyment of My Property

  by JNM3, 5 months ago
  

  
  MY CONCERN:

  Language in C.R.S. § 38-33.3-209.5 (HB 22-1137) has recently been used to justify gutting Rules and Regulations for *NON-curable violations*, as well as for curable violations.

  
  

  At issue is a non-curable violation: exceeding the posted speed limit.

  
  

  BACKGROUND:

  In the past, our HOA effected changes in driver behavior using due process. We have photo radar equipment and trained enforcement staff. We had a schedule of fines and a fair hearing/appeal process, defined in our Rules.

  
  

  Our HOA owns and maintains 19 miles of rather steep and curving Private Roadways. On a daily basis, speeding drivers (1,000+) pose health... Continue reading

  H O A property management companies participating in Unearned Fee kickback at closing of Federal Related Mortgage transactions

  by Liam in Broomfield, 5 months ago
  At least on company, which provides downloads of H.O.A. documents to potential purchasers of resold properties are offering up to $80.00 of the $300.00 service fee charged to homebuyers. These fees are collected at closing and charged to homebuyers on the RESPA settlement statement (HUD-1). This practice is a violation of Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. This information was presented in written statement by the property management company seeking an engagement with out H.O.A.,Inc.

  I have concerns

  by djcampanelli, 5 months ago

  Hi,

  
  I own in a Homeowner Association Community. I am a Realtor since 2000 and I am also on the HOA Board of Directors and sit in the Treasurer role. Our homeowners' association is self-run. We do not have a paid management company.

  The biggest problem I see is that people buy in homeowner association communities thinking that everything is going to be done for them and that the association is some third-party entity.

  I have experienced this in our community where a person told our president that he thinks the association is just trying to screw over the little... Continue reading

  I am a HOA Homeowner

  by RAK, 5 months ago
  1. This site has been very difficult to enter! I have tried since it's inception and just now have been able to access this site!

  2. President of our HOA did a secret purchase of one share of non-potable water (in the thousands) without a vote from membership and was is in conflict with our Covenants.

  3. Illegal ballot counting, wherein HOA Board has either counted the ballots without a meeting or members present; or has assisted in the ballot counts on voting. This is a violation of CCIOA. HOA will not divulge the number of votes counted for each... Continue reading
