​Walking In A Winter Wonderland! – HOA Snow Removal Guidelines

While we are lucky enough to have all four beautiful seasons, the first snow in Colorado also means snow removal in many of the communities we manage. 

Whether you live in a single-family, town-home or condominium community, snow removal guidelines are often outlined in your Communities CC&R’s or Rules and Regulations.  This is communicated via contract with the HOA’s snow removal contractor. If your Community Manager is aware of an ongoing snow storm lasting more than 24 hours, the Board will likely authorize multiple clearings throughout the duration of the storm. Once the snow storm has passed, a complete removal often takes place if the depth meets that which the HOA is responsible for.

If you live in a community with public streets, that means that the City of Colorado Springs is responsible for the snow removal.  To reduce costs, some Communities require the residents to perform snow removal up until it reaches a certain threshold.  Other Communities will perform snow removal on streets, sidewalks and driveways, but not the front patio.  It is important to understand what the HOA and the resident are responsible for when it comes to snow removal in your Community.  If you are unsure, please contact your Community Manager at Diversified Association Management.  ​
