Clarification regarding flags in Comstock Estates

Announcements / /

The Comstock HOA Board of Directors understands and appreciates the concern voiced by some residents about flags that are not the American flag or Service flags.  At this point, with the current Federal and Colorado law, the HOA covenants, and legal advice we have obtained – political signs are political signs while flags of a political nature are a different thing.

Currently, flags bearing a political theme are difficult to define under current Colorado law, and are not restricted by the Comstock HOA CCRs. Until case law dealing with this subject matter establishes more clarity on political flags, the Board does not plan to take any action on political flags at this time.  The recent policy statement issued by the Board makes clear the status of the United States of America flag and military service flags.

The Board has very carefully considered the matter of the flags.  Many hours have been spent in discussion and review of local, state, and federal statutes.  We have reviewed every action through our attorney and listened carefully to his advice.  The Board is intensely aware that this is a very sensitive issue, with high passions attached to it.  Thank you for your understanding.

Respectfully yours,
Robert W. Handford, President

On behalf of the Comstock Estates Homeowners Association Board of Directors

Clarification regarding display of political signs and flags in Comstock Estates

Announcements / /
  1. CE HOA CC&R Section 9A.07 allows political signs 90 days prior to the election date on which candidates or issues will be voted upon.  Further, RSCO 38-33.3 allows for political signs to be up 7 days past the election date. This equals 97 days total for each candidate or issue balloted.  
  2. The Board also wishes to clarify that, as long as the display does not obstruct the view of any homeowner nor presents a potential safety hazard, the display of the American flag on a unit owner’s property, in a window of the unit, or on a balcony adjoining the unit is acceptable if the American flag is displayed in a manner consistent with the federal flag code, P.L. 94-344; 90 stat. 810; 4 U.S.C. secs. 4 to 10.  Additionally, the display of service flags denoting the service of the owner or occupant of the unit, or of a member of the owner’s or occupant’s immediate family, in the active or reserve military service of the United States are also allowed.
