Bill > SB0122

This bill amends several Utah statutes related to homeowners' associations (HOAs) and condominium ownership. Key changes include allowing HOAs to convey common areas or facilities to a "condemnor" (an entity with the power of eminent domain) if the area is "under threat of condemnation" (meaning it's being considered for public use), without requiring a vote of all lot or unit owners. It also modifies the duties of the Office of the Ombudsman for Insurance, expanding its public information role regarding HOA laws and clarifying that its advisory opinions are generally not admissible in court. The bill also introduces new definitions and requirements for "administrative setup fees" charged during property transfers, clarifies rules around rental restrictions in HOAs, and updates provisions regarding the availability of HOA records to owners. Additionally, it makes several technical amendments and clarifications to existing laws concerning HOA budgets, the content of declarations, and the registration of associations with the Department of Commerce.
