Homeowner Update – Court Hearing - June 10,2026
We wanted to provide an update regarding yesterday’s court hearing involving the homeowner petition matter.
(a) the objecting homeowners should each have paid an individual filing fee. Our position was that this would cost each homeowner $222 to comply, amounting to a total of over $68,000 for our community, thereby creating a cost-prohibitive burden for homeowners. Colorado law states that statutes must be interpreted according to their plain meaning to avoid absurd or ineffective results. It isn’t clear how the judge will rule on that point in this instance.
(b) the signatures were not validated or notarized and thus are “hearsay". Colorado law, however, states that written objections are introduced to demonstrate procedural compliance and the existence of the objections themselves, rather than for the truth of the matters asserted within them, and are therefore admissible. Again, not sure how the judge will rule on that point.
During the hearing, several homeowners testified under oath regarding the petition process, including how signatures were collected and the efforts made by residents to participate in the amendment process. The HOA’s attorney questioned a number of homeowners regarding their involvement and the circumstances surrounding the collection of signatures.
We want to sincerely thank the homeowners who took the time to attend and testify. Their willingness to participate helped ensure that the court heard directly from members of our community.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the judge did not issue an immediate ruling. Instead, she indicated that she would be conducting additional research before making her decision. This suggests that the court believes the issues raised deserve careful consideration and are not as straightforward as either side may claim.
The court has scheduled the ruling for:
Thursday, June 18, 2026
3:00 PM
The ruling will be available for homeowners to observe via Webex. Information regarding access to the hearing will be shared as it becomes available.
Regardless of individual viewpoints, this case has demonstrated the level of interest homeowners have in the governance and future of our community. We appreciate everyone who has stayed informed and engaged throughout this process.
Once the court issues its ruling, we will provide another update to keep homeowners informed of the outcome and (regardless of outcome) next steps.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement. We heard you loud and clear as to the concerns and wishes of the community going forward, and are working on how to organize homeowners to address those. More to come soon.
