All Utah condo associations and community associations are required to register as a homeowner association with the Utah Homeowner Associations Registry (HOA Registry) and to renew its registration annually, as well as keep its info updated when directors and managers change. 

Since 2025, the law requires an association to renew its registration with the Utah HOA Registry annually, instead of just when there is a change in its information, and pay an annual fee set by the Department of Commerce, and it must update its information within 90 days every time there is a change. See Utah Code § 57-8a-105 or 57-8-13.1, as applicable

Registering and renewing as an HOA with the HOA Registry is different and separate from incorporating and renewing each year as a nonprofit corporation with the Utah Division of Corporations.  HOAs that are nonprofit corporations need to do both. 

The consequence for not registering an HOA with the HOA Registry and renewing and keeping the information updated is that the HOA will not be able to enforce a lien against a delinquent homeowner.  This is a huge consequence, as the lien is the association's primary remedy against delinquencies.  So, it is imperative that an HOA register and keep its info current with the Registry, or it will lose its lien rights when collecting past-due assessments.

An association must provide the following to the registry and keep it updated whenever the information changes:

• The name and address of the homeowner association.
• The name, address, and telephone number and, if applicable, email address of the president or chair of the board.
• The name, address, telephone number, and, if the contact wishes to use email or fax for communicating information, the email address or fax number of a primary contact person who has the lien payoff information a closing agent needs in connection with the closing of the sale or refinance of a lot/unit.
• For condominiums, the name and address of each manager or management committee member.
• For community associations, contact information for the manager (if applicable).
