our priorities and proposals
ILegislative initiatives promoted by the Colorado HOA Forum will not:
Use taxpayers
Inhibit free, competitive and open business practices
Materially impose any net cost on HOAs and their home owners
Negatively influence home owners from volunteering
All State supported HOA services must be funded by HOAs and other user fees/HOA registration fees.
Implement an out of court binding dispute resolution process within the State HOA Office to resolve homeowner complaints with their HOA Board funded through HOA registratin fees of $1.50 - 1.75 per year per homeowner. The level of service in this process will be limited by the fee assessment and not require any taxpayer funding, Require the HOA Registration process include a requirement that each HOA download all HOA official documentation into a State HOA data base to include all documentation required by DORA in the Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate. Section 7. Initial funding obtained with an assessment to each HOA of $50 per year to develop the application and purchase hardware.
Improve the HOA Registration process to collect and publish on State HOA Office web site: each HOA'sproperty management company; email address; a certification that all Board members read their own HOAgoverning documents and the State HOA Office's most current public presentation; and transmit to theOffice copies of all official documents required by DORA to be provided home buyers. The contract to Buyand Sell Real Estate lists these documents.
Revive the HOA property manager licensing program that was vetoed in 2019. Improve upon Coloradolegislation that licenses HOA property managers (PM): require PMs to provide detailed receipts to homeowners paying fees and a statement on invoice and in contracts with HOAs indicating that such work isunique and extraordinary with the sale of a home and not previously paid for with HOA dues.
Require Realtors and HOA home buyers to certify they received and read mandatory legally required homeclosing documentation.
Legislation to extend requirements of licensed property managers/HOA law to time shares w.HOAs
Term limits on HOA Board members when others are willing to serve
Limit the amount of special assessments without homeowner vote Preclude HOAs from entering into any non-routine litigation without homeowner approval
Require HOA rental property owners to utilize part of every rent payment to pay HOA dues
Election and voting reform including banning default of proxies to Boards for any reason and limits onabsentee owners in proxy voting
Disclosure of Metro District debt on property as part of home closing process
Disclosure of "super lien" impact on home foreclosure’m a paragraph. Drag me to add paragraph to your block, write your own text and edit me.
