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 disputing HOA actions and HOAs seeking to enforce their rights.
Common HOA Disputes
Improper fines and assessments, failure to enforce CC&Rs against other residents while enforcing them against you, refusal to approve reasonable modifications, failure to maintain common areas, selective enforcement, and improper foreclosure for unpaid dues are among the most common HOA disputes 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 foreclose on my home for unpaid dues?
Utah law gives HOAs a limited lien right for unpaid assessments, and in some circumstances they can pursue foreclosure. However, the process must strictly follow statutory requirements. We have successfully challenged improper HOA foreclosure actions.
