No HOA Homes for Sale in Highland, Utah
Highland sits at the base of Lone Peak in northern Utah County, and most of its newer subdivisions were built with mandatory homeowners associations, especially the planned communities near Alpine Highway and around the Highland City Park area. That makes homes without an HOA harder to find here than in older Utah County towns like Pleasant Grove or American Fork. When they do come up, they're usually on larger lots on the east side toward the foothills, on acreage parcels zoned for horses, or in some of the original 1970s and 80s-era neighborhoods that predate the HOA wave. Lot sizes in these pockets often run a half-acre to over an acre, which appeals to buyers who want room for a shop, RV parking, or a garden without a board approving the plans. Buyers pursuing no-HOA properties in Highland tend to be people who've owned a home with an association before and want out from under monthly dues, rules about paint colors and parking, or restrictions on things like chicken coops and detached structures. Others are simply looking to save the $50 to $150 a month many Highland HOAs charge and put that money toward the mortgage instead. Because inventory without an association is thin and often tied to bigger lots, these homes carry a price premium and don't sit long once listed.

Common questions
About no hoa homes in Highland.
Are no-HOA homes common in Highland? ▾
More common than people expect. Highland grew from agricultural roots, so many of the older subdivisions north of 11000 N and along the SR-92 corridor were platted before HOAs became standard. Newer pockets near the Alpine border and the foothills tend to have HOAs, but resale inventory still includes plenty of fee-simple properties on quarter-acre and larger lots.
What rules still apply without an HOA? ▾
Highland City zoning and ordinances still govern setbacks, accessory buildings, RV parking, animal rights, and short-term rentals. The city has specific rules on chickens, horses on properly zoned lots, and outbuilding heights. So 'no HOA' means no monthly dues and no architectural committee — not a free-for-all.
Can I park an RV or boat at a no-HOA home in Highland? ▾
Usually yes, which is a major reason buyers seek these out. Without HOA covenants restricting visible storage, you only need to meet city code on side-yard setbacks and screening. Many Highland lots are sized to fit a dedicated RV pad alongside the garage.
Do no-HOA homes hold value as well as HOA neighborhoods in Highland? ▾
Historically yes. Highland's appreciation has been driven by school quality (Alpine District), proximity to Silicon Slopes, and lot size rather than HOA-maintained amenities. Larger no-HOA lots in the older parts of town often command a premium because they're hard to replicate.
Are horse properties available without an HOA in Highland? ▾
Some are. Pockets along the east bench and a few legacy half-acre to one-acre parcels allow horses under Highland's animal rights ordinance, and those tend to be HOA-free. Confirm the specific zoning (R-1-40 vs. smaller designations) and animal allotment before writing an offer.
How do I tell from a listing whether a home has an HOA? ▾
The MLS has an HOA fee field, but it's not always accurate — agents occasionally enter $0 for inactive associations. Always verify with a title commitment and a CC&R search through Utah County records. Your agent can pull both before you remove due diligence.
