FAQ
This legal description is found on your deed. Secondary sources might be your mortgage or appraisal documents or the County Recorder's Office in the county where the real property is located. You must include the legal description for each piece of real property you are dividing.
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.
Is it mandatory to join a Utah HOA? In Utah, if an individual buys a house in an area where an HOA already exists, they have to join and start contributing to the association.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.
Utah law does not require any particular amount of reserves for associations.
Under Utah Code § 16-6a et seq., HOAs/COAs that are registered nonprofit corporations may be dissolved following Utah Code § 16-1 et seq. This is done by a proposal from the members to the HOAs/COAs association boards for adoption.
