No HOA Homes for Sale in Highland, Utah
Highland sits on the bench between Alpine and Lehi, with most of the city perched above 5,000 feet looking west across Utah Valley and east into the Wasatch. It's one of the few Utah County towns where you can still find established neighborhoods on quarter-acre and half-acre lots without a homeowners association attached — a holdover from Highland's farming days before the tech corridor pushed prices into the seven figures. Buyers come here for Alpine School District boundaries (Lone Peak High, Mountain Ridge Junior), a 15-minute commute to Thanksgiving Point and Silicon Slopes, and quick access to American Fork Canyon for skiing at Sundance or hiking Timpanogos.
No-HOA homes in Highland typically mean larger lots, room for RV and boat storage along the side yard, fewer restrictions on outbuildings and accessory dwellings, and no monthly dues that creep up every renewal. The trade-off is that you'll handle your own front-yard standards and street-facing upkeep without a board enforcing the neighbors. Most fee-simple inventory clusters in the older sections off 6000 W and along the original Highland Boulevard corridor, with prices generally running from the high $700s for smaller ramblers up past $2M for custom homes on view lots. Snow load, well vs. culinary water, and septic vs. sewer all vary block to block, so read the property disclosures carefully.

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.
