FAQ
To form an HOA in Utah, one must adhere to state-specific statutes, primarily the Utah inium Ownership Act and the Utah Community Association Act. The formation process begins with recording a declaration in the county where the property is located.
Once you buy a home that's part of an HOA, you automatically become a member of the HOA. HOA rules are legally binding, and you must adhere to all rules and regulations in the governing document. Yes, there are bylaws that you may not like, but there are no HOA loopholes.
Utah HOAs are primarily governed by the Utah Revised Nonprofit Corporation Act as well as specific legislation pertaining to iniums and community associations. These state laws are designed to work in conjunction with relevant federal laws to ensure that HOAs operate within the legal framework.
The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.
Federal Law Supersedes State Law. While a municipality can write local laws they can be stricter than the State law (as long as they do not run counter to the State or U.S. Constitution) But cannot contradict state law.
Finally, is an HOA considered a local government? No—HOAs are not considered a local government entity. While they do hold some administrative functions for a community, such as collecting assessments and enforcing rules, they do not possess the authority granted to real government bodies.
Associations can restrict parking on private roads owned by the association, but typically anyone can park on a public street. However, theoretically an owner could enter a contract not to park on a public street.
The dissolution process is done with Utah Division of Corporations following this general process: Under Utah Code § 16-6a et seq., HOAs/COAs that are registered nonprofit corporations may be dissolved following Utah Code § 16-1 et seq.
Utah law does not require any particular amount of reserves for associations.
