HOA rules by community · Washington City
Coral Canyon
Coral Canyon publishes more of its design review process than most Washington County communities. You can find out when the committee meets, when your application is due, when you will hear back, and which items are exempt from pre-approval — all from the association's own pages.
The design guidelines themselves are behind a login, and the association's two public pages give different assessment figures, so we have left both out of the confirmed list below. What is here is what the association publishes plainly, followed by the Utah statutes that bear on those rules. Where the two sit uneasily together, we say so rather than telling you which one wins.
Managed by CCMC. Confirm the current manager with your association before you rely on it.
Design review
The DRC calendar, what needs a form, and what does not.
- The Coral Canyon Design Review Committee meets the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month at 9:00 a.m. at the Clubhouse.1
- Applications are due the Friday before the meeting, and homeowners are notified within 48 hours after it.2
- Variance decisions are issued within 45 days.2
- Any exterior alteration requires a DRC form, and the association names security cameras, light fixtures, landscaping, solar panels, windows, painting and gates specifically.1
- Staff may approve items drawn from the pre-approved plant and paint lists, but a DRC form still has to be filled out and submitted.1
- Interior alterations are explicitly exempt from pre-approval at Coral Canyon, as are dead-plant removal, like-for-like replanting and seasonal decorations.3
Landscape rules
The published lists, the weed rule, and the county rebate underneath them.
- Coral Canyon publishes an approved plant list and a pre-approved Sherwin-Williams paint palette.3
- Weeds must be pulled or otherwise removed; spraying to kill them does not clear the violation.1
- Washington City's residential lawn ordinance is nearly identical to St. George's cap of 8% of lot size to a maximum of 1,500 square feet, and it applies to rehabilitated landscaping, not only to new work.3
- Washington City's water rate curve roughly doubles from tier 1 at $2.41 to tier 9 at $5.03.3
- The Washington County Water Conservancy District's Water Efficiency Standards, October 2023, §2 state that where the standards conflict with a municipal ordinance or the requirements of a common interest community, the regulation providing the greatest water conservation benefit applies.4
- The county rebate pays $3 per square foot on the first 1,000 square feet and $2 per square foot after that, for projects completed before June 1, 2027.4
3 more facts, with sources
- The rebate has no approved plant list of its own; the district requires only that plants cover at least 50% of the converted area at maturity, and it does not dictate species.4
- The district's rebate requires living grass at the pre-conversion inspection, and states that demolishing a lawn before the approval email arrives voids eligibility.4
- A rebated conversion carries a conservation easement that continues in perpetuity, is recorded with the Washington County Recorder, and restricts only the converted portion of the property.4
Structure and management
Three associations, one manager, and the gate fobs.
- Coral Canyon is three associations: the Coral Canyon Master association, The Petroglyphs and The Views.1
- All three are managed by CCMC, reachable at CoralCanyonHOA@CCMCnet.com and 435-634-1699.1
- Assessment invoices are mailed one month before the due date.1
- Key fobs cost $10, with a maximum of two per homeowner.1
What the statute adds
Utah provisions that bear on Coral Canyon's published rules. Read them side by side.
- Utah Code § 57-8a-212(4)(n), as amended effective May 6, 2026, provides that a declaration may not impose a restriction on the interior of a dwelling except as reasonably necessary for the safety of adjacent lots — which matches Coral Canyon's own exemption of interior alterations from pre-approval.2
- Utah Code § 57-8a-701 provides that no governing document other than a declaration may prohibit solar, and that size or location restrictions must not cut efficiency or raise cost by more than 5%.3
- Utah Code § 57-8a-109(2) provides that an association may not charge a plan fee that exceeds the actual cost of reviewing and approving the lot plans.1
- Utah Code § 57-8a-109(4) requires that a written denial specify each governing document provision the association relied on and the specific aspect of the plan that does not conform to it.1
- Utah has no statutory deemed-approval provision and no statutory review deadline, so the 48-hour notification is an association commitment rather than a statutory clock.1
- Utah Code § 57-8a-218(22)(c)(iii) and § 57-8a-212 bar restricting a lot owner from hiring a contractor solely because the contractor is not on the association's preferred vendor list, or lacks a licence that is not required by law.2
2 more facts, with sources
- Utah Code § 57-8a-208 requires a written warning before any fine, stating the violation and the provision violated, with not less than 48 hours to cure a continuing violation, and gives the owner 30 days to request an informal hearing.1
- Under Utah Code § 57-8a-227(4)(a), an association must comply with a written records request within 10 business days, and § 57-8a-227(5)(b) gives the owner $25 per day beginning the eleventh business day if it does not.1
What we could not read
These are the parts of Coral Canyon’s documents we could not get to a verified copy of. We would rather say so than guess. Your association can give you the current versions, and Utah Code § 57-8a-227 says what they have to hand over on request.
- Assessment amounts
- The design guidelines themselves
- Construction hours, deposits and contractor insurance
- Washington City outdoor lighting
- Whether association common areas qualify for the county rebate
Before you submit anything
- What Utah law says an association can require of your yard
- What a denial letter is legally required to say
- Whether they can make you use their contractor
- How to escalate, and to whom
