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.

Folks purchasing houses in the developement are told up front of the
Association and are given a copy of the bylaws.

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

The covenants come with the land. There is no option to dissent from the
covenants.


Sure there is! Look down and I'll bet you'll see a couple of shoes...
which probably conceal feet. Use them and walk away from the excess
restrictions on your freedom to use your property as you see fit...
and away from the very real possibility of frivolous (or not) civil
litigation.

You have choices. Make a bad one and your neighbors will make your
decisions for you concerning what type of boat you can own, where you
shall keep it, and how it will be maintained.

Maybe you are comfortable with that. I'm not.
