Homeowners' Association Delinquency Payments Enforcement Procedures

House Bill 22-1137, concerning practices of unit owners' associations, imposed a number of procedural requirements on unit owners' associations (HOAs) with respect to collecting payments from unit owners with delinquent accounts. The act changes some of these procedural requirements by: Removing a requirement that an HOA physically post notice of a unit owner's delinquent account on the unit owner's unit; In addition to sending notice by certified mail, requiring an HOA to contact a unit owner or designated contact by 2, rather than one, of certain described means; Authorizing an HOA to contact a unit owner or designated contact via telephone call to a telephone number that the HOA has on file for the unit owner or the unit owner's designated contact; and Allowing an HOA to charge a unit owner for the cost of sending notices or documentation by certified mail. The act also exempts time share units that are not occupied on a full-time basis from some of the procedural requirements imposed by House Bill 22-1137.
