Homeowner's Associations suck!

On Tue, 21 Aug 2007 15:54:28 -0400, "JimH" ask penned the following well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats: 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. I don't mind it. It helps ensure we don't get junk cars and trailers parked in driveways and eventually adds to the worth of my house. I don't have any of that, now, and I can park my boat in the driveway and work on it whenever and as long as I want..... BTW: I can work on or store my boat on the trailer in my driveway for 2 full weeks/year, which is reasonable. .....which is convenient because if I couldn't, I'd be spending another $75-$350+/month to slip the boat. That makes that $80 look like $155-$430+ to me! |
