New Granby STR Fees

An article appeared in the November 3rd edition of the Sky-Hi News regarding STR and Impact Fees. A homeowner spoke to Nicole Schafer of the Town of Granby to get clarification on the “Granby Ranch Exempt from Impact Fees” part of the article.

The exemption from impact fees is specific to new project and/or construction in Granby Ranch. Each new development is exempt from Town of Granby impact fees for ten years. 

The revised STR bedroom and studio fees will become effective January 1, 2024 and will apply to all STRs registered with the Town of Granby. The $728 per bedroom fee replaces the existing annual fees which were approximately $100 per bedroom. The new fee structure will go into effect only on the date of the annual renewal of the STR certificate registered with the Town of Granby. Nicole said that within a month a letter will be sent to the owners of all registered STRs.

Reserve Study

As some of you might remember from our annual meeting, we determined a reserve study was necessary. We undertook that work along with Beaver Village Management and have realized, after significant effort, that we are unable to complete the study with only our expertise. To do a study like this correctly requires professional engagement. Therefore, we are going to engage the services a reserve study professional to complete what we began.

It took a great deal of effort and time to realize we needed to outsource this work, but we used the time to try our best to do this without incurring the cost of a professional study. Unfortunately, we were just not able to do so.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact any of your board members or Beaver Village Management.

Door Lock Replacement

In the time since all of the front door locks were changed some owners have replaced them with smart locks and a few other locks have failed. As a result, there’s some confusion as to what homeowners should do should their lock need to be replaced.

If a homeowner wishes to replace their door lock with a smart lock that requires a code that code will need to be given to Beaver Village Management so they can have access in case of an emergency or for the annual boiler inspection. If you want to use a keyed lock it needs to work with the same master key as was put on a few years ago.

If your existing lock fails, the HOA will replace your lock at no cost to you.  If an owner wants to replace their working existing lock, that expense is up to the owner.
