caddieman Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Got a fine the other day from my POA for parking on the street in front of my house. The streets in my community are county maintained so they are a public street. The CCR says you can’t park on the street but does that make it legal for them to level fines. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nstoolman1 Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Not a lawyer, but you signed the CCRs when you purchased. Signing is a form of agreement that you will obey the rules. Some CCRs state if you don't pay the fine they will put a lien on your home. In some cases they can sell your home to collect the fees. Contact the city or county and see if it will stick. Also, if you can get a majority to vote the rule down you might get it struck from the CCRs. Are your streets real narrow? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had to sign before you could build! If you don’t sign the ccr you would not get approved 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coorslite21 Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Life is full of choices. For me zero desire to live within an area with a bunch of Phoney rules.... Let me guess....garages must be dry walled.....Garage doors can be opened no longer than 15 minutes..no overnight parking in the drive way.....hedges trimmed at all times...sidewalks edged.. Your choice... More of a Daniel Boone guy myself.....I don't even want to see smoke from my nearest neighbors woodstove. CL 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could not find a home up here that fit the needs at the time and needed to build in an HOA community. There are pros and cons with living in one. They do attempt to keep property values up by not letting certain people run rampant with poor outside housekeeping, junk cars littering the street and poor people skills. Cons would be not being able to do what you want. Problem is some people have no idea how to act around other people. They are the reason HOAs came into being. Some HOAs go to an extreme others not. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CL Yes you do but I bought my property at tax sale for under $10,000 at the end of a cul-de-sac in a golf course community and over an acre………so yes I had choices………sort of!😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let a HOA parking ticket for parking on the street in front of your own home bother you....hopefully that will be the end of it.....CL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CL Try burning some good quality, high btu, coal, if you don't have close neighbors.. It burns much longer and you don't have to get up as many times at night to feed the fire. Also great to have a place with no HOA or restrictions!! Open Range, and the cows cut my grass and take care of wildfire danger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
