Default Homeowner's Associations suck!

We have a HOA in our development. The Association officers are responsible
for contracting out the care and upkeep of the main entrance to the
development (landscaping and sidewalk snow removal) as well as enforcing
Association bylaws. They also review and approve fence and shed
installations. Annual cost to each homeowner is $80.


That is pretty cheap compared to most HOAs.


My guess is that nothing is binding, if they didn't also assent to and
sign the restrictive covenants prior to purchase.



Gene,
It is good that you don't live in a community with HOA and restrictive
covenants, because you probably would be very surprised how incorrect
your guess is.
