our priorities and proposals
Legislative 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.
