The formation and operation of a special district is governed by Title 32 of the Colorado Revised Statutes and other applicable laws. The first step in formation of a special district is submittal of a Service Plan to the jurisdiction in which the property is located. The Service Plan is basically like a city charter and sets forth the powers that the district as government entity will have (i.e., the power to provide water, sanitary sewer, street and other public improvements).

A resolution is the final form of a decision taken at a meeting by voting on a motion, with or without amendment. A resolution is binding for a Special District. It becomes effective when it is passed but minutes make the evidence of such resolution. An Annual Administrative Matters Resolution outlines statutory requirements of the district and binds the District to the fulfillment of these requirements.

Under the Colorado Local Government Election Code, regular elections are those where district directors are elected. These have been held on the Tuesday following the first Monday of May in even-numbered years, but beginning in 2023, they will be held in odd-numbered years. The transition to odd-numbered years was a result of House Bill 18-1039 and means that some districts will hold regular elections in May of both 2022 and 2023. Ballot issue elections concerning bonds (TABOR questions) must be held either at regular elections, in coordinated elections in November of even-numbered years, or in TABOR elections in November of odd-numbered years. Special elections, called by a special district board for non-TABOR questions, can be held in February, May (of even-numbered years), October, or December.

Restrictive covenants are deed restrictions typically found in a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. Declarations including restrictive covenants are normally drafted and put in place by the original developer. Amendments may be made by the appropriate action of a portion of the owners. Restrictions may vary in type and scope from community to community. When restrictive covenants are recorded in a declaration, they bind all property owners. Even though a purchaser may not read the declaration, the purchaser is bound by the covenants because they are in his/her “chain of title” and attach to the property. As a result, each owner has constructive knowledge of the restrictive covenants and actual knowledge becomes irrelevant.
