Utah Community Association Act (Title 57, Chapter 8a)
KindHOA helps volunteer boards document decisions, automate assessments, and stay audit-ready — without enterprise software built for property managers.
Utah community associations operate under the Utah Community Association Act and recorded CC&Rs. Boards should align assessments, architectural review, and dissolution procedures with statute and governing documents.
UT checklist — confirm current statutes and CC&Rs with association counsel before assessments, fines, or liens.
Dissolving a Utah HOA usually requires a supermajority owner vote defined in your CC&Rs, settlement of association debts, a plan for common-area assets, and recorded amendments with the county. The process is fact-specific — consult an attorney before distributing reserves or terminating the association.
KindHOA helps boards document votes, publish notices, and maintain audit trails while you work through dissolution or restructuring with counsel.
Most Utah homeowners associations operate under Utah Community Association Act (Title 57, Chapter 8a) together with the community's recorded declaration (CC&Rs), bylaws, and published rules. The statute sets the baseline for assessments, notices, meetings, records access, and enforcement; your governing documents may add stricter rules but cannot override mandatory owner protections. This is educational guidance only — confirm specifics with Utah association counsel.
Utah HOA rules and regulations come from three layers: (1) Utah Community Association Act (Title 57, Chapter 8a) as the state baseline, (2) city and county ordinances (zoning, noise, short-term rentals, building permits), and (3) your association's recorded CC&Rs, bylaws, resolutions, and architectural guidelines. Boards enforce layer 3 on private lots; municipalities enforce layer 2 on public code. Publishing a searchable rules directory helps owners tell the three apart.
The state statute applies statewide, but local rules differ. Zoning, noise ordinances, short-term-rental licensing, fence and setback standards, and the county recorder's office vary between Layton, Murray, and other UT cities. Use the city guide for your community to see where municipal code ends and your recorded covenants begin.
