Colorado law prohibits HOAs and common-interest communities from banning electric vehicle charging stations and protects owners' rights to install them on their property.
Under CRS 38-33.3-106.8, HOA covenants and rules cannot effectively prohibit or restrict installation or use of an EV charging system on a unit owner's property or limited common element. The association may impose reasonable aesthetic and safety standards but cannot impose unreasonable cost or delay. Owners must comply with applicable building codes, obtain permits, use licensed electricians, and maintain insurance. The statewide policy applies regardless of conflicting HOA documents recorded before or after the law's effective date.
HOAs that violate the statute may face injunctive relief, damages, and attorney fees in private actions brought by aggrieved owners.
