HOA and requesting amendment

[Harleyrider_50]

Issue lies herein:

Section 12: Temporary Structures and Storage. No structure of a temporary character, trailer, boat trailer, truck, commercial vehicle, RV, camper shell, ATV, detatched basement, tent, shack, detatched garage, barn, or other outbuilding shall be used or located on any lot or adjacent to any lot, public street at anytime....."

I was also told basically "no sheds" in those words. Period. Unless it is somehow ATTATCHED to the house and finished in the same maner as the house. So a shed that is attatched to back of garage and shares a common wall etc. (which is next option, but gas meter a/c unit are already there)

No freestanding structures, reguardless of perminant or not.

We can have in-ground pools as of late 2010, but there is a restriction that say you must have a privacy type fence in order to have an in-ground pool.
Love the home, had to trade off what I NEED in a home vs what I wanted etc. Price and school district were also big factors. I wanted a 3-car garage but my price range and area of town I wanted etc wouldn't allow. Had to really figure out what was more important. Yea, HOA is kinda sucky, but it keeps homes looking nice and keeps the value up I feel.

Yes, there is an up-side. If you are happy with the area.....enjoy....

I'm laughing at all of the people saying "Build it anyway and tell the HOA to go pound sand!" Apparently, contracts are only honored when it's convenient.

If you don't want to agree to an HOA covenent, don't live in an HOA subdivision. If you bought the house and you signed the paper, you should abide by the contract.

To add to it, if you break the HOA covenant they have the right to place a lien on your property which will include any legal costs, etc. That lien must be paid once the house is sold so sooner or later the HOA can and will win. It is a binding document.

What I find with most HOA dwellers is they love the fact that it controls their neighbors and hate it when it limits what they want to do themselves.

Seems to me that it mostly serves to pit neighbors against each other. One guy wants the covenent ammended to allow sheds. The majority shoots it down. Next time someone in the majority wants an ammendment, those who wanted the sheds will now vote against them out of spite.

I don't know about most HOA's, but I know that mine can and will sue a homeowner for violating the covenant. They've attached court-ordered liens against the property, which need to be resolved before the house can be sold, and they've been able to force homeowners to tear down structures that violated the covenants, at the homeowner's expense.

I don't always agree with their interpretation of the covenants, but in general I agree with the content and the purpose. They've kept our subdivision looking nice, well maintained, and helped kept the property values up. I know there are many that are poorly run. Even poorly run, I don't think that gives you the right to break a contract that you signed.

That's a WHOLE DIFFERENT conversation. That's all about whether the HOA is well-run or not. I'm specifically referring to people breaking the contract simply because it suits them.

Makes me happy that the HOA where I will be living with my future wife is very lax. Dues are cheap (I think $60 a year) and they allow sheds up to a certain size (like 10x10 or something). This spring Sarah and I are adding a barn because there is no way to get two cars and everything else in the garage that needs protected. I will probably even build me a gun cleaning bench in it also.

Oh, and the President of the HOA asked me to be on the board and I don't even live there yet. Most of the dues goes towards paying the electric bill for street lights, landscape lights at entrance, landscaping and snow removal.

I have been on the board of two different HOAs and let me tell you a good rule to follow with any rule within a HOA. You must make every rule with the biggest, laziest I don't give a **** hillbilly that lives in the hood in mind. 99% of all people who live in HOAs are good people who want to have a nice looking place to live. The other 1% are just hillbillies with money. Most people will have nice sheds and keep them nice but it could be the hillbilly who lives behind you who doesn't and you have to look at his POS each day.

I would, only issue is I'm new to the HOA (just about a year now) and my age (Only 30 years old). Not sure how well people will take to either. Worth a shot thou! Not sure how active they are and how often they meet. Will look into it!

My brother in law became the president of his townhome community's HOA at about your age. Thing is, they had moved out of the townhome and it was a rental property for them when he became president These organizations LOVE people that want to volunteer their time!

I live in a HOA community and it doesn't bother me. I like that all the houses look nice and neat... The appearance of the neighborhood was an attraction for me. I guess I have an OCD tendency. BRB, gotta replace my mailbox because there's some rust on it

Last time I lived somewhere that had rules was my grandma's basement. Never again.

It is a job but sometimes ole boy makes some sense.....

He would make much more sense if he stopped purposely typing like he has brain damage. Seen him doing it and getting ignored by most everyone on a Harley board.
