Bill Summary · HB 86

Legislative bill overview

HB 86 modifies Utah's homeowners' association (HOA) regulations by establishing new requirements for HOA governance, financial management, and homeowner rights. The bill has been signed into law as of March 25, 2025, following standard legislative enrollment procedures.

Why is this important

HOAs affect millions of homeowners across Utah by controlling common area maintenance, setting fees, and enforcing neighborhood standards. Changes to HOA requirements directly impact property owners' financial obligations, dispute resolution processes, and their ability to participate in community governance decisions.

Potential points of contention

  • Financial transparency requirements — Depending on specific provisions, new disclosure mandates could burden smaller HOAs with administrative costs while homeowners may demand greater access to financial records
  • Homeowner voting rights and enforcement — Proposed changes to voting procedures or enforcement mechanisms may create conflict between HOA boards seeking operational efficiency and residents demanding democratic participation
  • Architectural review and assessment changes — Modifications to how HOAs approve home modifications or levy special assessments could pit resident autonomy against community aesthetic/financial standards
