Generally yes, HOAs and their subcommittees are required to follow Colorado's Property line and fence laws for shared fences just like any other private land owner. The only difference is that when funding the new build, or repair of a fence, the HOA is a non-profit that exists by collecting dues from its members. As a result, the time needed to obtain the funding is taken into consideration anytime an HOA has to pay its share for erecting or repairing a shared fence. Each HOA's governing documents determine how these funds are to be raised, budgeted, and allocated for any costs the HOA is responsible for. *The foregoing information is general advice only and should not be relied upon to take, or fail to take, legal action.

Hoping to get some real resolutions to this nightmare that I have been living with for over 15 years. I am a homeowner in Edwards and I am a homeowner that has been paying my HOA dues on time for over 15 years. The HOA board members as well as the neighbors knew that a former property management company had been breaching their contract and fiduciary duties for years. That same property management abruptly quit when I was finally voted to be on our HOA board (the property management company denied my rights to be on MY own HOA board, even after I was voted in) and asked to see our financials, contracts, bids, board meeting minutes, basically what I am entitled to by law. Every single time that I tried to bring up the theft from the property management company, and after the company quit, blaming me for everything, the HOA board members and the other homeowners simply stated that "we are all just going to move forward, rather than to take any accountability. 16 homeowners here, over 15 years of paying HOA dues, and not one single house has been painted, not one single roof has been replaced, not one single tree has been trimmed, we have no irrigation system and the grass is all dead, and the grounds here looks like a junkyard, with people leaving their garbage out, including washers that are broken on their front entrance, old mattresses that have been lying around for years, it's absolutely absurd, and I have documentation of all of this. I can no longer live like this. Lastly, at no point in time have our governing documents, CCIOAS, covenants, and anything pertaining to our legal documents, HOA ever been followed. I simply can't fight this all by myself anymore.See answer
