Hill Farms Subdivision Homeowner Association, Inc.

What Hill Farms Subdivision Homeowner Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Hill Farms Subdivision is a standard single-family homeowner association in Kaysville, Utah. The documents here are a resolution reducing a resale reinvesment fee, a state ombudsman advisory opinion about a chicken-keeping dispute, amendments to the bylaws and to the declaration, and a legalistic lot listing. They are partial and ancillary fragments; they do not contain the full set of current rules for the community.

• Resale reinvestment fee: Effective January 1, 2026, the HOA charges a reinvestment fee of 0.25% (one-quarter of one percent) of the sales price on all home resales within the community, reduced from 0.5%.
• Chickens & poultry: The Tenth Amendment to the declaration (adopted by vote) allows hens but NOT roosters. To keep chickens, an owner must submit written plans to the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) specifying the number of chickens, coop/enclosure design, privacy screen, and proof of municipal approval. The coop must not be visible from the road, must secure chickens at night, and use materials/colors in harmony with association design guidelines. Selling eggs with a sign on the property is prohibited.
• Amendment voting requirement: The declaration requires approval by 67% of ALL homeowners (not just those who voted) to amend the governing documents. The advisory opinion confirms that the board is not obligated to campaign or summarize proposed amendments.
• Enforcement & fines: Utah law requires a written warning notice and a cure period (minimum 48 hours) before the association can assess fines. The board has discretion to decide when to enforce rules, and failure to enforce against one owner does not waive the right to enforce against another.
• Architectural review board: The First Amendment to the Bylaws explicitly provides for the appointment of multiple Architectural Review Boards, each with authority and responsibilities governed by board resolution.
• Board composition: The Bylaws (as amended) set the board at either 3 or 5 directors, as determined by a majority of owners at the first meeting after the Class B control period ends. Directors serve three-year terms; initially, one director serves a two-year term to stagger elections.
• Meeting quorum: Unless the declaration says otherwise, a quorum at an owners' meeting is established by those owners present (in person or by proxy). The board remains the only body authorized to act for the association.
• What this document doesn't cover: These are partial fragments. The full declaration (CC&Rs), current bylaws, and complete rules/policies are not included here. This excerpt does not cover regular assessments, pet rules (beyond chickens), parking, rental restrictions, or other typical HOA topics.
