The Colorado legislature recently passed legislation relating to common interest communities that require actions to be taken by Associations.
House Bill 23-1105
A “homeowners’ rights task force” has been created to examine various issues surrounding owner rights in common interest communities. Here are some key takeaways from this Bill:
Senate Bill 23-178 : Effective August 8, 2023
Significant revisions have been made with regards to permissible restrictions on drought tolerant vegetation/plantings, vegetable gardens and xeriscaping. The restrictions vary depending on whether an association is a detached single-family home community or non-detached single family home community where a unit shares one or more walls with another unit. Given that many associations have existing restrictions contained in their CC&R’s, rules and regulations or design/architectural guidelines relating to landscaping in a community, In most cases an Association may address this issue by adopting a specific Resolution and Policy regarding the new restrictions which supersede all prior restrictions.
Here are some key points from the Bill:
The legislation does not apply to communities where an owner does not maintain their landscaping in any shape or form.
