Utah HOAs can enforce architectural review under recorded CCRs but must follow their own written procedures and cannot unreasonably deny solar panels, xeriscaping, or EV chargers.
Architectural review committees (ARCs) in Sandy HOAs operate under authority granted by recorded CCRs and Utah Code 57-8a. Utah law specifically restricts HOAs from prohibiting: solar energy systems (with reasonable design restrictions), water-efficient landscaping including xeriscaping (HB 282, 2021), and electric vehicle charging stations on owners exclusive-use areas. ARCs must respond to applications within the time specified in CCRs (often 30-60 days) or approval is deemed. Denials must cite specific CCR provisions. Members can appeal to the full board.
