Homeowners associations in Utah are primarily governed by the Utah Community Association Act (Title 57, Chapter 8a). If you're buying into, living in, or serving on the board of an HOA here, understanding the basics of this framework is worth doing before you need it.
Regulatory oversight
Utah doesn't have a dedicated HOA ombudsman office; disputes are generally handled through the courts.
What's notable about Utah's HOA law
- This Act applies to HOAs that are not condominium associations — planned communities, PUDs, townhomes, and similar developments.
- It covers fines, rental restrictions, budgets, notice requirements, liens, and insurance.
- Condominiums are governed by a separate set of Utah statutes rather than the Community Association Act.
Good to know
Most Utah associations are also organized under the state's general nonprofit corporation law, adding another layer of governance on top of the Community Association Act.
