Utah homeowners fined for flying American Flag | Fox 59
It seems this was not a previous condition of the HOA agreement, but basically an arbitrary decision by the board.
One resident summed it up pretty well...
If this doesn't make your blood boil, I don't know what will. Last time I checked, the flag wasn't just reserved for holidays.
The president of the homeowners association spoke to KSTU and was steadfast in her decision to enforce the fine. She said she was tired of seeing flags, not just the American flag, flying up and down the street all day and night, and 365 days of the year.
"Flags are flown on holiday events," said Lyn Steinbergen, president of the HOA. "All we are trying to do is regulate when the flag goes up and when it comes down.”

"That is not a holiday decoration," she [Erin Worthen] points out. "People have died for that, it is not a holiday decoration."
