It’s not bad. You just have to be careful and understand what you’re getting into, that’s all.
We have a “nice” HOA. The worst thing I can think of that’s happened this year has been writing up an owner because they had a bunch of pallets leaning up against the side of their garage for 3-4 weeks. If you have a fence and stuff isn’t visible from the street there’s not a lot we can do about it. Just south of us is a big development called “Fishhawk”. Their HOAs are so restrictive they control what plants and trees you can put in your yard. That’s a bit over the top for me. Dan > On Nov 20, 2015, at 7:39 PM, Kaleb C.
