Oak Townhomes
Saint George, Utah
They have signs posted for no pets, but allow tenants to take their dogs out and 💩 everywhere.
They have signs posted for no pets, but allow tenants to take their dogs out and 💩 everywhere. They don't follow the rules they impose. Horrible.
Sultan Circle
Murray, Utah
This HOA is an absolute nightmare.
This HOA is an absolute nightmare. The property has been neglected for decades, and now their scrambling to save it. This has resulted in monthly fees of roughly $700 due to multiple special assessments. The pool hasn't been usable for years. Mostly people's balconies are literally crumbling. There are several old timers who fight tooth and nail to combat any attempt at progress. The neighborhood is comprised mostly of elderly karens who stand outside and watch you to see if they can conjure infractions to report you for. The whole neighborhood has a hostile energy, and most people refuse to smile, wave or say hi when they pass you. I keep getting hit with made-up infractions that I now have to hire a lawyer to deal with. Moving here has been one of the worst decisions of my life.

Utah law requires HOAs to keep minutes of all board and member meetings. Members are entitled to request and review minutes within a reasonable time, usually within 30 days of a meeting.
Legislative Update
HOA Law in Utah
Utah's 2026 session (January–March) produced meaningful changes for community associations, effective May 6, 2026:
CC&R restrictions expanded (SB 122)
Rules that previously only applied to board-adopted regulations — like limits on political signs, flags, and certain parking restrictions — now also apply to CC&Rs. If a declaration provision violates the statute, it's unenforceable even if it's written into the governing documents.
Expanded parking restrictions
Associations can now also restrict trailers and off-highway vehicles from driveway parking, in addition to previously covered vehicle types.
HOA Ombudsman office expanded
Advisory opinions from the state's HOA Ombudsman are now public, with more educational resources available to homeowners.
Reinvestment/transfer fee rules (HB 306)
At least 50% of reinvestment fees collected at property transfer must go into reserve funds, with new limits on how much associations can charge.
