Littleton, CO HOA Rules: CC&R Enforcement (2026)

4, Deed Restrictions and Private Facilities, requires an HOA, party wall agreement, or metropolitan district whenever a subdivision includes private facilities such as common open space, recreational amenities, private utilities, private storm drainage detention, water quality facilities, or private streets. The subdivider must record deed restrictions with the county clerk and recorder, in a form the City Attorney accepts, establishing the association permanently, requiring mandatory membership for every lot or unit owner, requiring a reserve account or surety for perpetual maintenance, and granting the association authority to collect dues and levy special assessments.

That obligation is perpetual and runs with the association or its successor from the date of plat approval. Subsection B assigns maintenance of private utilities and any private storm drainage or water quality facilities to the homeowners' or property owners' association, not the city, and Subsection C confines private streets to closed loops and cul-de-sacs not used by the general public, with the association responsible for maintaining those streets and their signs. The city's own Chapter 11 code enforcement process, by contrast, addresses violations of the Unified Land Use Code itself, such as unpermitted construction or use, not disputes over an association's private covenants; those obligations belong to the recorded deed restriction and the association, not to the City Attorney or code enforcement staff.
