HOA Software for Colorado Boards
Colorado HOAs are governed by the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act (CCIOA), with additional registration through the HOA Information and Resource Center. The Good HOA helps CO self-managed boards meet covenant-enforcement, transparency, and dispute-resolution requirements.
What Colorado HOA boards need to comply with
Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act (Colo. Rev. Stat. §38-33.3-101 et seq.). CCIOA, together with HB22-1137 (2022) on covenant enforcement, governs Colorado HOAs. HB22-1137 added written notice requirements, cure periods, and payment-plan rules that catch many self-managed boards by surprise.
- Register the association annually with the HOA Information and Resource Center.
- Provide written covenant-violation notice with description, cure period, and right to be heard.
- Offer payment plans before initiating collection action on a delinquent owner.
- Adopt the policies required under §38-33.3-209.5 and post them on the association’s online portal.
What Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act covers
Annual registration (§38-33.3-401)
Associations register every year with the HOA Information and Resource Center in the Colorado Division of Real Estate and keep their contact and management details current.
Covenant enforcement and cure periods (§38-33.3-123)
Since HB22-1137, an owner gets written notice of a violation and at least 30 days to cure before a fine for most violations — 72 hours where the violation threatens public health or safety — plus the opportunity to be heard before the board.
Collections and payment plans (§38-33.3-316.3)
Before referring a delinquent account to collections, the association offers a repayment plan of at least 18 months. Foreclosure requires a debt of at least six months of regular assessments and an individual board vote, and fines alone cannot be the basis for a foreclosure.
Required policies (§38-33.3-209.5)
Boards adopt written policies covering collections, conflicts of interest, conduct of meetings, covenant enforcement and fines, records inspection, reserve investment, reserve studies, and dispute resolution.
This is general information, not legal advice. Self-managed boards should review the statute and their governing documents with counsel before making compliance decisions.
How The Good HOA helps Colorado boards
- Violation records that track the notice date, the cure deadline, photos, and the hearing in one file.
- Installment plans for delinquent balances, tracked from approval to the final payment.
- A document library where the required policies live with resident visibility, so owners can find them.
- Late fees and fine schedules applied the same way for every owner.
- A 10-year audit trail of who sent, changed, or waived what, and when.
