Utah Code Title 57 Chapter 8 is the inium Ownership Act authored by Keith Romney and passed into law in 1960. The Act allowed individuals to have private ownership of property in a collective unit. Although authored in 1960, the Act wasn't officially adopted until 1963.
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.
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.
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.
Utah law does not require any particular amount of reserves for associations.
First things first — you must inform your homeowners association of your plan to move out. Let your HOA board know that you intend to sell your home. In some communities, this is even required. Remember to go through your association's governing documents to see if there are any unavoidable steps you must take.
