The Covenants were originally drafted in 1973 and have not been amended since 1980.  Federal, state and county laws (including regulatory acts) have superseded specific sections of the CVOA Covenants.  The portions which have been superseded are explained and highlighted in green in the “Covenants with Clarification”  tab below.   Colorado state law requires Associations to adopt policies to clarify Association Covenant intent, assist in their enforcement and follow laws in the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act.
