What Lock-and-Leave Includes in Thornton

  • Read what the HOA covers. Roof, exterior paint, lawn, snow, trash, water. Two Thornton communities with the same dues cover different lists. We read the declarations.
  • Dues are the trade. $200 to $600 a month in Thornton buys the freedom to leave for a month. The lender counts the dues in your payment.
  • Reserves. A community that covers the roofs needs the money to replace them. The reserve study tells you whether the dues are real.
  • Attached or detached. Patio homes give you a detached house with the maintenance handled. Townhomes and condos give you less to insure.
  • Rentals and pets. Lock-and-leave owners travel; some rent. The covenants set the rules on both.
