From the Wasatch County Recorder's index. Amendments and supplemental declarations may apply — the recorder holds the full trail.

What the declaration says

Can the board raise dues?Commercial Owner controls the amount of Resort Reserve Expenses, but after the first full fiscal year an increase under this section cannot raise the Residence or Condo Suite Assessment by more than 20% over the amount charged in the most recent fiscal year. A similar 20% ceiling applies to assessment increases caused by changes Commercial Owner makes to the owner access, balcony or restricted areas, and the Resort Association Budget must be approved by unanimous vote of the Resort Association Board.Section 10.5 · p. 49

What dues and fees does the declaration set?The 2005 declaration sets no fixed dollar assessment; each party's share is set by budget and by square-footage allocations. It does authorize a Brand Affiliation Management Fee calculated on each unit's square footage, which Commercial Owner may adjust once a year by no more than the greater of the indexed amount or 3.5% (the fee multiplied by 1.035).Section 10.7 · p. 51

What happens over unpaid dues?Unpaid amounts become a lien, with foreclosure by advertisement and power of sale, perfected from the recording of the declaration, plus interest at the Agreed Rate (prime plus 200 basis points) from the delinquency date, late charges and collection costs including reasonable attorneys' fees. A payment more than five days late can draw a late charge of up to 5% of the delinquent amount, and the board may suspend rights and privileges for up to 30 days after notice and an opportunity for a hearing.Section 10.11.1 · p. 52

What insurance does the HOA carry, and who pays the deductible?Commercial Owner keeps all-risk fire and extended coverage on the commercial, owner access, balcony and restricted areas at 100% of replacement cost, and the Resort Association carries commercial liability coverage of at least $50,000,000 per occurrence plus directors and officers insurance. Deductibles and uninsured or underinsured losses are shared by Commercial Owner, the Residence Association and the Condo Suite Association in the same proportion as they share premiums; claims for injury inside a unit are made against that unit owner under the owner's own policy.Section 6.1 · p. 28

Does the declaration require a reserve fund?The board has the power and duty to establish, maintain and spend reserve funds for replacements of the owner access, balcony and restricted areas, with amounts set by reserve studies by independent third-party consultants and in any event enough to keep those areas at the Resort Quality Standard. A reserve study must be done at least once every three years, and reserve funds are held in trust and, except in an emergency, used only for the purposes collected; emergency withdrawals must be replaced by the end of the following fiscal year.Section 8.2.10 · p. 40

Can owners rent their homes?Units are used exclusively by their owners, subject to the owners' right to rent their units in accordance with the governing instruments. This declaration itself states no rental cap, minimum lease term or approval requirement.Section 1.1.4 · p. 12

What can't owners do with their homes?No unit owner, the Residence Board or the Condo Suite Board may erect buildings or structures, or construct, renovate, alter, expand, demolish or remove improvements anywhere in the Resort, other than work inside their own units. Owners also may not grant easements over the Resort without Commercial Owner's and the Resort Association's written consent, and parking licenses cannot be sold, leased or encumbered separately from the unit.Section 1.1.2 · p. 9

Do I need approval to change my home's exterior?No material change of any kind may be made to the Resort by an owner or the associations, except changes to the interior of a unit, without the express prior written consent of Commercial Owner. Commercial Owner may sue to enjoin unapproved demolition, erection, installation, alteration, repair, restoration or painting and may recover its costs and attorneys' fees.Section 11.1 · p. 54

What about pets and parking?Each Residence Unit gets a non-exclusive license to use two parking spaces and each Condo Suite Unit one space while in residence, in locations designated by Commercial Owner, and access may be solely through valet. Extra spaces may be granted on request subject to availability and rates set by Commercial Owner, and Commercial Owner may relocate spaces on written notice.Section 4.1.1 · p. 24

Can the association fine owners?The Resort Association Board may levy fines against a unit owner or an association for violations, using the same notice and hearing procedure as suspensions: written notice at least 15 days before the effective date, a hearing if requested in writing within five business days, and the hearing held at least five business days before the effective date. Fines become an assessment payable within 10 business days, and the board may also suspend privileges for up to 30 days, abate violations at the owner's expense, sue, or arbitrate.Section 8.2.13 · p. 41

How is the board chosen, and when does the developer step back?Commercial Owner appoints three members of the five-member Resort Association Board, and the Residence Association and Condo Suite Association each appoint one; each member has one vote. Commercial Owner appoints the initial board when the association is formed, no later than the closing of the first unit sale. Certain matters, such as approving the budget, hiring the Resort Association Manager and most amendments, require a unanimous board vote; everything else passes by majority.Section 7.3 · p. 33

How do the CC&Rs change?The declaration may be amended or terminated only by an instrument approved by unanimous vote of the Resort Association Members and recorded with the county recorder. Commercial Owner acting alone may still amend to fix clerical or technical errors, to meet state agency requirements, to reflect changes in the number of units, and to annex or de-annex property.Section 15.1 · p. 60

Answered from Utah lawCommon question · records

How do I get a copy of Deer Crest's CC&Rs?

Put the request in writing. Under § 57-8a-227 the association must make its governing documents available — the latest versions must be free on its website if it has one — and must fulfill a written records request within 10 business days. Emailed copies are free; paper copying charges are capped.

Write the request letter Read § 57-8a-227

Answered from Utah lawCommon question · dues

How much can Deer Crest HOA raise dues in a year?

Utah sets no statutory cap — the limit, if any, lives in the declaration. § 57-8a-201 requires the board to adopt a budget and give owners notice of the assessment before it takes effect, and in many communities owners can call a meeting to reject the budget.

Answered from Utah lawCommon question · late fees

What happens if I fall behind on dues?

Unpaid assessments become a lien on the home under § 57-8a-301. The association must follow the statute's notice steps before enforcing — and it cannot enforce a lien while its own registration is lapsed.

What does Deer Crest HOA's reserve fund hold right now?

Utah § 57-8a-211 requires a reserve analysis at least every five years and an annual owner vote on funding it. The figure itself lives with the board.

Answered from Utah lawCommon question · fines

Can Deer Crest HOA fine me, and how?

Only for violations of the governing documents, and only with the process Utah law requires: written warning first, a chance to be heard, and fine amounts set by a published schedule. A fine without that process is contestable.

Read § 57-8a-208

Answered from Utah lawCommon question · rentals

Can Deer Crest restrict rentals?

Often yes, within limits. § 57-8a-209 restricts what rental limits an association can impose and grandfathers owners who were renting before a restriction took effect — the details live in the declaration, so read it alongside the statute.

Answered from Utah lawCommon question · meetings

Can I attend board meetings?

Yes. Under § 57-8a-226 board meetings are open to owners except during executive session, and owners must get notice of meetings. Minutes are records you can request.

Answered from Utah lawCommon question · collections

Can Deer Crest HOA foreclose on my home?

Only at the end of a long, regulated ladder: the debt must be at least 180 days delinquent and the association must first send the certified pre-foreclosure notice § 57-8a-303 requires. Most delinquencies never legally get near foreclosure.

Buying in Deer Crest — what do I get before closing?

The seller can request the association's payoff and document packet, and § 57-8a-106 caps what the association may charge for producing it at $50. Ask for the declaration, bylaws, rules, current budget, and any unpaid assessments on the unit before you commit.

Waiting on the boardOnly the board can answer this

What does Deer Crest's insurance cover, and what's my deductible exposure?

Utah requires the association to carry property and liability coverage and to share policy details with owners on request. What the current policy actually covers — and what falls to owners — is the board's to publish.
