Architectural review committees in Utah HOAs must act in good faith under Utah Code 57-8a-218 and cannot unreasonably withhold approval of requests.
Utah law requires architectural committees to respond to owner requests within timeframes stated in the governing documents, and decisions must be reasonable and consistent with the CC&Rs. Owners have a right to written explanation of denials and may appeal to the full board. Certain protected improvements such as solar panels (Utah Code 57-8a-801) cannot be unreasonably prohibited.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
