(HOA) MODEL COVENANTS
Sustainability Advisory Board
June 9, 2022
WHAT IS AN HOA?
•Organization in a subdivision, planned
community, or condominium building
that makes and enforces rules for the
properties and residents
•Become a member upon purchasing
property
•Covenants can be more restrictive
than the zoning and codes of the city
and can be inconsistent with city
priorities
•The City of Bozeman does not
enforce covenants and cannot require
any provisions within covenants
•Development of model HOA
covenants will provide an opportunity
for newly created HOA’s to adopt
language that is consistent with the
City’s adopted plans (i.e. Strategic
Plan, Community Plan, Affordable
Housing Action Plan, Transportation
Plan, and Climate Plan)
IDENTIFIED CITY PRIORITIES
•Water Conservation
•Drought Tolerant Landscaping
•Local Food
•Neighborhood and Community Connectivity
•Accessory Dwelling Units
•Childcare
•Composting and Recycling
•Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
QUESTIONS
•Are you aware of common provisions within HOA covenants that may
be in conflict with the City of Bozeman’s climate or resilience goals?
•How might the City remedy these conflicts in model HOA covenants?
