HB 24-1383

House Bill 24-1383, which has been signed into law and will take effect on August 7, 2024, clarifies that in Colorado, anyone forming a common interest community (like a condominium complex or homeowners association) must have the property owner's explicit written permission to do so. Similarly, if someone wants to add more property to an existing common interest community, they also need the current property owners' written consent. This law affects property owners and developers involved in creating or expanding these types of communities.
