Quorums
Default quorum rules under CCIOA. Unit-owner meeting quorum is 20% of votes (10% for associations with more than 1,000 unit owners), unless the bylaws provide otherwise. Board meeting quorum is 50% of the votes on the board, unless the bylaws specify a larger percentage. Both apply at the beginning of the meeting; once present, the quorum is deemed present throughout.

| Ref | Requirement |
|---|---|
| (1) | The Colorado statutory floor for owner-meeting quorum is 20% of votes (10% for very large associations >1,000 units). The bylaws may set a higher threshold. Once a quorum is present at the start, it remains present throughout — even if attendees leave. |
| (2) | For board meetings, the default quorum is half the board's voting power (proxies count). Bylaws may require more. Once present, the quorum holds throughout. |
