The HOA is only for the road maintenance.
Not a big deal. And the cost is $200 year.
do they have a list of "rules"? if so it is a big deal. My HOA started out basically for maintenance and when people with big city ideas move in things change. reminds me of recently one in CA started fining residents $200 if their lawns were not green enough. of course this was in the middle of one of the worst droughts that they had experienced. My HOA hired a lawyer, had at least 3 in VA to chose from who full timed as HOA lawyers. seems to me that there must be lots of litigation to support them and the litigation means that they have some stupid rules/regulations. The fools in mine wanted to put in a rule that contradicted a laxer county rule and require fences to be 5 or 10 ft from lot line. If both homeowners wanted a fence between them this would mean a 10 or 20 ft "dead zone" between the fences. total stupidity.
I was looking at an adult community outside of Dallas and they sent me their recent newsletter. one recent event was that two women were golfing and noticed that a large bird house at an adjacent house seemed to be too high. yes, they had a rule that unless the bird house was in a tree or under an eave it was limited to xxx ft off the ground and the house in question exceeded that. the response was that at that time TX had an endemic/pandemic/a whole bunch of some disease spread by mosquitos and the bird houses in question were to attract a bird ?? who thrived on them and required a bird house to be located higher off the ground than their rules/regulations allowed. they decided that it would be OK, but why did they put something so stupid into their covenants?
No More HOAs.
