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.
Since HOA meeting requirements, as stipulated in most governing documents, only allow members whose names appear on the title, that typically means spouses, tenants, and attorneys of members can't attend. Of course, not all associations impose this provision strictly.
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.
A non judicial foreclosure in Utah can be completed in about 4 months if it is not contested by the borrower. The time frame for a judicial foreclosure depends on the court's schedule and the rulings of the court.
Utah law does not require any particular amount of reserves for associations.
The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.
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.
In Utah, two key laws govern homeowners associations ("HOAs") and inium owners associations ("COAs"). The inium Act, Utah Code § 57-8, applies to COAs, and deals with individually owned units supported by collectively held facilities and areas, such as iniums or townhomes.
