Every HOA (homeowners association) has a set of rules, covenants, bylaws and deeds to maintain and it’ll oftentimes move to great lengths to do so – which includes taking legal action and charging fees. It’s why you must ensure you know all the bylaws governing what you cannot and can do with the property. A few of them aren’t always obvious, either.
Handling Homeowners Association Regulations
You potentially expect limits on the colors you’re able to paint your home or amount of yard art you’re able to display in your front yard. Though, most HOA will go further. A few prohibit the kind of cars you may park in the driveway, the keeping of garbage cans in front of your home and even parking your automobile with an inch of tire upon your grass. Knowing all of the regulations may assist you in avoiding breaking them and suffering the fines which follow.
One excellent tip for handling an HOA includes banding together with the neighbors.
Get Involved With HOA
The ideal method of exercising your rights and maintaining some degree of control over the HOA includes getting involved with the organization.
Pay HOA Dues
It might seem self-explanatory, yet paying your dues in a timely manner is going to make handling your homeowners association a lot easier.
Taking Legal Action
Living underneath the umbrella of the homeowners association, you might discover yourself in a situation in which you feel your rights as a property owner are being violated. You should speak to a competent lawyer who knows case law that surrounds this type of real estate case.
