Are there means to resolve issues and disputes within HOAs or between owners and HOAs short of litigation?
Yes, in SB-06-089 (CRS 38-33.3-124) the Colorado legislature addressed the issue of costly and complex litigation and beginning 1/1/07 required HOAs to adopt a policy on the use of alternative dispute resolution techniques. The Colorado Council of Mediators supported this specific portion of the legislation. Copies of this policy should be available from your HOA or your community manager.
