How this calculator works

This is a Colorado CCIOA meeting notice compliance checker under CRS § 38-33.3-308. Given the meeting type, meeting date, notice date, and reference date, it returns:

Days of advance notice given.
Whether the notice falls within the required window.
Overall compliance status (compliant, too-early, too-late, or incomplete data).
Days until meeting.

The CRS § 38-33.3-308 notice windows

Annual and special meetings (CRS § 38-33.3-308(3)). Notice must be given:

Minimum: 10 days before the meeting
Maximum: 60 days before the meeting

Both the minimum AND the maximum are mandatory. Notice given more than 60 days before the meeting is just as non-compliant as notice given fewer than 10 days before. Notice must be sent to all unit owners at their address of record under the association declaration.

Board meetings (CRS § 38-33.3-308(1)(a)). Notice must be given at least 72 HOURS (3 days) before the meeting. No maximum. Board meetings must be OPEN to all unit owners — owners have the right to attend and observe (though not to participate in board deliberations unless recognized by the chair). Emergency board meetings may be held without the 72-hour notice when an immediate-action emergency requires it.

Colorado-specific meeting notice notes

Open meeting requirement. Colorado's open-meeting requirement under CRS § 38-33.3-308 is a statutory right — it cannot be watered down by declaration language. Unlike some states where the declaration may restrict owner attendance at board meetings, Colorado owners have an unqualified right to attend and observe.

Notice to all owners. Notice must reach all unit owners, not just those who have registered email addresses. Associations transitioning to electronic notice must be careful to maintain a physical-mail backup for owners who have not opted in to electronic notice.

Effect of defective notice. Actions taken at a meeting with defective notice are subject to challenge under CRS § 38-33.3-123. A subsequent properly noticed meeting that ratifies the defective-meeting actions is the standard cure.

CRS § 38-33.3-308 (CCIOA meeting notice: 10–60 days for annual/special; 72-hour minimum for board; open-meeting requirement).
CRS § 38-33.3-302 (quorum requirements).
CRS § 38-33.3-123 (enforcement of CCIOA; owner remedies for defective-notice violations).

CRS § 38-33.3-308(3) requires notice to be given no fewer than 10 days and no more than 60 days before an annual or special meeting. Both the minimum AND the maximum are mandatory: notice given more than 60 days before the meeting is non-compliant under CCIOA, just as notice given fewer than 10 days before is non-compliant. This two-sided requirement is the same as in many other UCIOA-model states. Notice must be sent to all unit owners at their address of record under the association declaration.

CRS § 38-33.3-308(1)(a) requires the board to give all unit owners at least 72 HOURS (3 days) advance notice of a board meeting. Board meetings in Colorado must be open to all unit owners — owners have the right to attend and observe. Emergency board meetings may be called without 72-hour notice when a genuine emergency requires immediate board action; the board must document the emergency basis and the necessity of proceeding without the standard notice period. Non-emergency meetings held without the 72-hour notice are defective and any resolutions passed may be challenged.

Colorado's 72-hour board meeting notice under CRS § 38-33.3-308(1)(a) is typical for UCIOA-model states. Florida requires 48 hours for board meetings (Fla. Stat. 720.303). Nevada requires a minimum of 10 days for certain board actions and shorter notice for non-disciplinary matters under NRS 116.31083. The open-meeting requirement — where all unit owners may attend board meetings — is stronger in Colorado (statutory right) than in some states where the declaration may restrict attendance.

Actions taken at a meeting held with defective notice are subject to challenge under CRS § 38-33.3-123 (enforcement of CCIOA). In practice, a meeting with defective notice typically results in: a subsequent motion to ratify all actions taken at the defective meeting (at a properly noticed meeting); or a legal challenge by an owner who was prejudiced by the defective notice. Courts and the Colorado HOA Information and Resource Center (DORA) generally look at whether the defect was material and whether any owner was actually prejudiced — a one-day shortfall in a 10-day notice that everyone received may be curable; a meeting held entirely without notice cannot be cured.
