[QUOTE="Purp, post: 2438488, member: 12852"] Need some sage council on HOAs. We build and moved into our neighborhood 2 years ago partly bc the HOA dues were so low I expected it wouldn't be as onerous as others I know about around town. Until January this year they were a management company and almost non-existent. There wasn't a formal set of bylaws, committees, and rules until the first elections this year. Since that time I know of 6 houses of the 8 in my immediate vicinity who have received some sort of threatening letter. We got one last month for the swing set I put in the back yard after Christmas 2 years ago when there wasn't an architectural committee. Now they want me to submit an application for it or they'll fine me. You can't even see it from the street. Our neighbors can't have have things like basketball goals or remove dirt mounds around the trees in front of their houses. My question is how best to resist this type of encroachment on my liberty since my signature is on a document I signed at closing agreeing to pay dues. I'm planning to run for the board presidency and pretend like it doesn't exist for the balance of my term. Somehow I don't think that will create a permanent reprieve. A broader question is from where do these clowns get this authority? If the majority of the neighbors wanted to get rid of the HOA, could we? The fining policy letter they sent out makes it sound like the city/county put certain deed restrictions on the development requiring an HOA. [/QUOTE]
