Homeowners Associations have broad powers over properties in planned communities — but those powers have limits. HOAs must follow their own governing documents and Utah law. When an HOA improperly fines a homeowner, enforces rules selectively, fails to maintain common areas, or exceeds its authority, homeowners have legal options. We represent both homeowners navigating HOA issues and HOAs seeking to understand and fulfill their obligations.
Common HOA Compliance Issues
Improper fines and assessments, failure to enforce CC&Rs consistently, refusal to approve reasonable modifications, failure to maintain common areas, selective enforcement, and improper lien actions for unpaid dues are among the most common HOA issues we handle.
Utah HOA Law Framework
Utah's Community Association Act (Utah Code Title 57, Chapter 8a) governs most HOAs in Utah, establishing requirements for meetings, voting, financial disclosures, and enforcement. CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions), bylaws, and rules must comply with this statute. We analyze the governing documents and Utah law to determine what the HOA can and cannot do.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can my HOA place a lien on my home for unpaid dues?
Utah law gives HOAs a limited lien right for unpaid assessments, and in some circumstances they can pursue additional remedies. However, the process must strictly follow statutory requirements. We help homeowners understand their rights and challenge improper actions.
