Colorado HOA Lawyers

Homeowners’ associations (HOAs) play a significant role in managing and maintaining community standards throughout Colorado. However, HOA governance can sometimes lead to disputes or confusion over rights and responsibilities. If you are facing challenges related to your HOA—whether as a homeowner or an HOA board member—Baker Law Group is here to provide expert legal assistance tailored to your needs.

Understanding HOA Laws in Colorado

Colorado’s HOA regulations are primarily governed by the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act (CCIOA), codified under C.R.S. § 38-33.3-101. This comprehensive legal framework sets forth the rights and obligations of both homeowners and HOAs, covering matters such as:

• Assessment collection and payment disputes
• HOA rule enforcement
• Architectural control issues
• Voting procedures and board member elections
• Transparency in financial reporting

The CCIOA aims to balance HOAs’ authority with homeowners’ rights. Unfortunately, misunderstandings or overreach can still occur, making legal intervention necessary.

What are the Most Common HOA Disputes in Colorado

The Colorado real estate lawyers at Baker Law Group handle a wide range of HOA-related legal matters. The most common HOA issues in Colorado are assessment disputes, covenant enforcement, board transparency and governance, and construction defects in communities. More details about these common issues are listed below:

Assessment Disputes

HOAs rely on assessments to fund community operations, but disputes often arise over payment amounts, late fees, or improper collections. Colorado law provides clear guidelines for assessment practices, and we help homeowners and HOAs navigate these disputes to protect their financial interests.

Covenant Enforcement

HOAs enforce covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs), but disputes can arise when homeowners feel these rules are applied unfairly or inconsistently. Our team ensures enforcement actions comply with Colorado law and protect the rights of all parties involved.

Board Transparency and Governance

Transparency is a cornerstone of effective HOA management. However, board members sometimes fail to provide access to financial records or meeting minutes as required by C.R.S. § 38-33.3-317. We assist in resolving governance issues to ensure compliance and restore trust within the community.

Construction Defects in HOA Communities

HOA boards may need to address construction defects affecting common areas or individual units. These cases often involve navigating claims against developers or contractors while complying with Colorado’s Construction Defect Action Reform Act.
