House Bill 21-1229 (Energy, etc.)
HB 21-1229 also clarifies that an HOA cannot apply restrictions on the dimensions, placement, or external appearance of a renewable energy generation device if such restrictions would result in an Owner’s cost of the device increasing by more than 10% or result in a decrease in the efficiency of the device by more than 10%. This new language also requires that an HOA Board respond to an application within 60 days of receiving the application. Otherwise, the application is deemed approved by law. If such application is denied, the basis for denial must be described in reasonable detail to the Owner.
