QUESTION
Grandfathered structure on lot. Can it be "ungrandfathered" down the road by the HOA?

More details to this question:
Looking at a lot in a development in southern Colorado. The lot has a metal barn on it. It was built before the HOA decided that metal barns were not to be allowed. The HOA states that existing structures are 'grandfathered' in. Before I make this purchase, I'd like to know if there is a law protecting me from the HOA changing it's mind in the future, effectively cancelling my 'grandfathered' status and forcing me to remove the building. Thanks in advance.

It is unlikely that anything prevents the HOA from one day reversing course and demanding that the non-compliant structure be removed or updated. Additionally, should you ever want to modify the existing structure the HOA may not allow it.
