To Our Valued Title Company Partners: 

In Colorado's dynamic real estate market, ensuring clear title and a seamless closing experience for properties within Homeowners' Associations is paramount. However, identifying all relevant HOAs, navigating complex governing documents, and efficiently obtaining crucial disclosures can be a significant and time-consuming challenge.

Recent legislative changes, particularly those effective in 2025 under the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act (CCIOA), have further amplified the importance of robust HOA due diligence. These updates emphasize enhanced transparency and quicker access to HOA records, placing a greater responsibility on all parties involved in the transaction to ensure compliance and comprehensive disclosure. While these changes aim to benefit buyers, they can create additional burdens for title companies striving for efficiency.

This is where the Consolidated County Record Systems (COCRS) becomes an invaluable asset for your title company.
