HOA assessments in Salt Lake City are governed by Utah Code §57-8a (Community Association Act). Boards must provide annual budget, reserve study every 6 years, and follow CC&R voting thresholds for special assessments.
Utah HOAs (including condominiums and planned communities in SLC) are regulated under Utah Code §57-8a. Under §57-8a-211, associations must adopt an annual budget and deliver it to members 30 days before the fiscal year. Section §57-8a-211(3) requires a reserve analysis at least every 6 years and a reserve study update every 3 years. Regular assessment increases are typically set by the board under authority granted in the CC&Rs; special assessments usually require membership vote thresholds specified in the governing documents. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot under §57-8a-301 and may be foreclosed judicially or non-judicially. Associations must provide a disclosure certificate (estoppel) on resale per §57-8a-106. Salt Lake City does not impose additional local HOA assessment rules.
Unpaid assessments: lien + 18% interest typical + collection fees + attorney fees; foreclosure possible after 90+ days delinquent. Board violations of §57-8a: member can sue for injunctive relief and damages.
