Hello – Our HOA is rural, subdivided 5-acre plots, sparsely populated. Many owners have bought two lots, then legally vacated the lot lines to combine into a larger parcel, which reduced HOA fees. The HOA is now attempting to pass a policy/rule that as of Jan 1, 2022, owners will have to (again) start paying dues on BOTH lots, citing Title 38, CCIOA section 38-33.3-212.

This is an issue that will require research into your specific HOA docs and the process by which the HOA is attempting to change the owner's obligations. It is likely that if done properly the HOA may have the desired power. It is also likely that the HOA has or will make some mistakes that would provide an opportunity for you to object. The ultimate question will be is this a financially viable case for you to bring against your HOA. The best way to get some clear guidance on the best way to proceed is to schedule a free case assessment 24/7 by calling 303-688-0944 or online at https://calendly.com/case-assessment/case-assessment.
