Homeowner Associations
In limited instances, Wolfersberger, LLC will manage homeowner associations (HOAs). Specifically, we will manage HOAs where (1) significant cost savings can be generated from consolidating HOA services into the neighborhood's metropolitan district and (2) sufficient support exists among the homeowners serving on the HOA board and the metropolitan district board to consolidate such services into the metropolitan district. In rare cases, we have assisted HOAs with creating new metropolitan districts to which the HOAs have transferred all neighborhood service responsibilities. [Note A]
Note A: In 2016, we assisted the Platte River Ranch No 2 HOA (a 479-home neighborhood located in Brighton) with creating a metropolitan district and merging the HOA's operations into the metro district. The HOA had historically averaged over 30% bad debt write-offs of its HOA dues over the past 10 years. Homeowners were well aware of the bad debt write off rate and the impact it had on annual HOA dues. Our firm worked with the HOA board on educating homeowners about the near 100% property tax collection rates experienced by metro districts. That was one of the primary reasons why the ballot proposing the creation of a new metropolitan district passed with over 70% approval from the voters. The HOA was subsequently dissolved in 2017 and replaced by the metro district.
