Under Colorado law, the seller of a mobile home park is required to:
- Provide advance notice in English and Spanish of a potential sale to home owners renting lot space in the park
- Learn when, how, and who to notice about a potential park sale
- Provide notice to the county and/or municipality and to the Department of Housing within 14 days of a triggering event as described in section 38-12-217(1)(a), C.R.S. Get more details about triggering events.
- Wait for at least 90 days after giving notice to ask for a home owner’s intention or signature relating to their intent on the opportunity to purchase the park
- Give a group or association of home owners 120 days after the notice to submit an offer to buy the park
- Learn about the waiting periods and what to do after a sale
- Consider any purchase offer from a group of home owners or their assignees in good faith
The law also:
- Allows a group representing more than 50% of home owners to assign their opportunity to purchase to a public entity
- Empowers the Division of Housing to file a civil action, impose a fine on the seller of a mobile home park for violations of section 38-12-217, C.R.S., or toll (pause) the 120-day opportunity to purchase period if a group of home owners files a complaint.
