Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Homeowners gain protection during manager changes

When an association ends or does not renew a management contract, the former manager must return association property free within 45 days. Delivery to the association or new manager includes money, accounts, financial records, insurance, contracts, invoices, receipts, subscriptions, passwords, keys, and related documents. Managers can keep proprietary software but must provide the association’s data; self-managed associations that never hired a manager are excluded. Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, failure triggers $250 per business day, caused interest and late fees, damages, and recovery-action costs. If a court finds a willful violation, the former manager owes three times actual damages, reasonable attorney fees, and court costs.

Homeowners get funded long-term repair planning

For Colorado planned communities and condominiums, developers must pay for a reserve study before handing control to the association. It must identify shared property and association responsibilities, with a 30-year forecast of maintenance, repair, and replacement costs. The qualified professional must know industry standards and have no developer affiliation, financial interest, or business ties beyond the study work. At or before handing over control, developers must pay the association 1.5% of the amount needed to fully fund reserves. These rules do not set an individual homeowner’s assessment. The law takes effect at 12:01 a.m. the day after 90 days following the 2026 session’s final adjournment—August 12, 2026, if adjournment is May 13. A referendum petition delays the challenged law or part until voter approval in November 2026 and the governor’s official declaration.

Homeowners and buyers get repair-cost records

Developers must give prospective buyers the reserve study at least 24 hours before sale. Owners can access the latest study with reasonable notice; associations must disclose it and their responsible governance policies. Disclosures are due within 90 days after taking control and within 90 days after each fiscal year ends. The law removes the requirement to include the previous fiscal year’s board and member meeting minutes in these disclosures. Within 60 days after nondeveloper owners elect most board members, developers must deliver the study to the association. Large planned communities must also receive all recorded deeds and recorded or unrecorded leases showing association rights in shared property.
