Homeowner Association (HOA) & Community Association Law
Legal Advice for HOAs and Individual Owners in Community Associations
Homeowners associations (HOAs) and community associations are intended to maintain property values and the overall quality of life in residential neighborhoods. But with that responsibility comes a host of complex legal obligations. At Danborn, Thiessen & Dunham P.C., we bring decades of experience representing both HOA boards and individual homeowners throughout Arvada and the Denver metro area.
Legal Guidance for HOA Boards
Our attorneys help association boards navigate the day-to-day legal needs of managing a community.
Services include:
- Covenant and rule enforcement
- Assessment collection and delinquency resolution
- Drafting and updating bylaws, declarations, and governing documents
- Advising on board meetings, elections, and procedural compliance
- Ensuring adherence to the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act (CCIOA) and the Revised Nonprofit Corporation Act (RNCA), as well as other specific statutes affecting HOAs
We provide practical, proactive legal counsel to help boards govern effectively and reduce exposure to liability.
Representing Individual Homeowners in HOA Disputes
While we support boards, we also advocate for homeowners who may be in a dispute with their HOA.
Common issues include:
- Disputes over fines or assessments
- Architectural or maintenance requirements
- Improper enforcement of rules
- Lack of transparency or procedural fairness
We work to resolve these matters efficiently and respectfully, helping homeowners assert their rights without escalating conflict unnecessarily.
Resolving Disputes with Diplomacy and Efficiency
When disputes arise between associations and residents—or between board members themselves—we offer a balanced, experienced approach.
Our attorneys handle:
- Negotiation and informal resolution
- Mediation and settlement agreements
- Litigation when necessary
We understand the importance of preserving neighborly relationships while still achieving fair outcomes under the law.
Supporting Strong, Compliant Communities
Beyond representation, we also offer:
- Board training and legal briefings
- Annual reviews of governing documents
- Legal updates on new HOA legislation and CCIOA amendments
Whether you a board member or an owner in a large master-planned community or a small townhome complex, our firm provides customized support to meet your needs.
