BOISE, ID — Attorney General Raúl Labrador announced court settlements today with two Idaho homeowners’ associations and an HOA management company after receiving complaints that homeowners were charged transfer fees that were never disclosed in their governing documents, in contravention of the Idaho Homeowners Association Act and the Idaho Consumer Protection Act.
Idaho law requires HOAs to explicitly disclose any transfer fees in their Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions. Management companies have no authority under Idaho law to charge transfer fees.
“Idaho families work hard to buy a home, and they deserve to know every cost before they sign,” said Attorney General Labrador. “Hidden fees collected without legal authority violate Idaho law, and we will hold HOAs and the companies that manage them accountable.”
Assurances of Voluntary Compliance were signed by Pristine Springs Homeowners Association of Ada County, Armstrong Park Homeowners Association of Kootenai County, and Park Pointe Management Services of Ada County. Park Pointe contracts with approximately 70 HOAs across Idaho. The Attorney General’s Office will monitor all three entities’ fee practices under the agreements.
Armstrong Park must refund $195 to any homeowner improperly charged a transfer fee within 30 days. Park Pointe Management must identify and refund all homeowners from whom it improperly collected transfer fees within 90 days.
