Are you in a planned community or condominium association? If it is a planned community read ars33-1818. I own a condo so apparently this doesn’t apply. I don’t understand how or why the legislation didn’t capture both HOA entities with this.
Depends on your CC&Rs. Our community’s documents do state that all driveway spaces must be filled before either residents or guests can park on the street.
HB2298, which was passed this year, could eliminate a lot of HOAs’ authority to restrict street parking. Any association whose documents were adopted prior to 2015 has to call a meeting for a vote of the membership no later than the end of June 2025 and have a majority vote in favor of allowing the restrictions to continue. If no meeting is called/held or the vote fails, the association forfeits the right to regulate parking on public streets.
Ryan,
The answer to that depends on your governing documents. No HOA should have the authority to regulate in any way including parking on streets that do not belong to them. I’ve tried to get that changed in the law for some years now. A new law was passed last session that allowed the homeowners to decide by vote if they want the association regulating public streets. We will be introducing legislation this session that will once again attempt to get the law right and ban outright the ability of any association regulate in any way any streets that it does not own.
