where I live there are subdivisions all over with only one or two houses in a cul-de-sac and the majority of those have hoas, you could theoretically buy up all the properties(or just a majority) for a couple hundred thousand.

[@michaelkennedy2528]

FTS, I will NEVER live in an HOA community again. I once lived in a gated community that had million dollar homes, I thought I would be comfortable there, but that did not last long at all. One day I popped the hood and was literally just checking the oil before I went on a trip. When I got back I had a warning letter that said basically " Working/repairing vehicles is strictly prohibited!!". I went to the HOA president and explained to him that I was just checking my oil level, that's it. He refused to retract the warning letter, as it "goes against your HOA record!" About two week later, I was cleaning out my trunk and removed the spare tire to really clean the trunk. About two days later I get a $600.00 (yes F'ing $600.00) notice that I have been fined for "working on my vehicle". That was such BS. Luckily my doorbell camera caught everything and I was able to show that I was NOT working on my vehicle and after the board member reviewed it for almost two damn weeks, they cancelled it, but I still had the "warning letter". I said screw that and bought some land, built a house and workshop. No more HOA (Hateful Old A$$holes) for me.

[@superconscious.]

just curious why you built a workshop?

[@michaelkennedy2528]

@@superconscious. At my new place? I had to build a seperate building because the insurance company said that I would pay a lot more if I used my garage as a "workshop". A lift that I wanted would not fit in the garage with ceiling clearnce. Being detached according to the insurance mitigated the risk of fire ( did not understand that) despite cooking nearly everyday vs grinding or welding on ocassion. Building a workshop in that HOA place was not even an option, lot was way to small and the rules explicitly said the largest shed could be 80sqft.

[@mmartian1969]

HOA’s can literally make up any rule basically. As long as it’s not found to be discriminatory or targeting for harassment. Basically a huge development company buys a giant plot of land and decides to section it off into lots to build suburban housing. And they organize certain residents to basically “manage the neighborhood” to keep all the houses looking uniform and keep it a “good neighborhood” to encourage more people to want to live there. But a lot of the times it turns into total bs and these people just go in power trips against outlier people who they don’t want in their communities.

It is not uncommon for HOAs to be poorly managed in terms of finance. This is likely why they are concerned with potential litigation. It is entirely possible that there is very little available funding in their reserves to support paying for legal counsel. You should have a look at their yearly financial report which generally must be made public.

I had the same issues with my first home and it had an HOA. So, I started reading their by-laws and would do everything just on the cusp of breaking their rules to irritate the complainers, but they could never do anything about it. It became a game, and I would do things like you mentioned, such as park the ugliness vehicle in from of my house just to mess with them.

[@bigbuckoramma]

When i moved out here to Arizona, virtually every neighborhood has an HOA. It sucks, but its a constant revenue stream for a lot of these developers to open their own HOA, and then milk the neighborhood after they are built up. When we first moved in, they sent me a nastygram about some weeds in the front yard, and tried to fine me $150. I wrote back a legalese heavy letter, sent it certified to their office, explaining that i would not be paying their fine, as i had just moved in, was unsure of what was native vegetation, or part of my landscape, and then quoted several of their own bylaws regarding yard maintenance, and time to correct, and that i had only taken ownership of the home 3 weeks ago, which is not a reasonable time to correct any yard maintenance issue according to their own bylaws, and that i expected to not hear from them regarding the matter ever again. I then, like Parker, went to the next 2 HOA meetings, where i was the ONLY resident present. And the level of ass kissing i received was off the charts. And i have received NOTHING from the HOA other than my receipt ever since then. It is as if i have been placed on a "do not mess with this guy" list, and have not heard a peep out of them since.

The smell of freedom is fantastic. There is a house on my street where the whole front yard is covered with cars. There is a nonfunctional pickup with out of state plates parked in front of the neighbor's house (a different one). People leave their trash bins out all the time. One house was painted bright red until it sold and the new owner painted it a normal color. It's fantastic. And my house is still worth four to five times what I bought it for just over a decade ago (unfortunately... I liked the lower tax).

Too funny. So much rang true with what you said. I live in Palm Harbor, with an HOA also. For whatever reason my wife is the vice president of the HOA. NO ONE shows up to these meetings. Only board members who are older people. They have no clue to what is going on here. My wife constantly complains about how the board argues over the dumbest stuff and wastes time. My wife just joined to get the playground area refreshed. The other board members think there are no kids here - but much like your area , most houses sold here are families with younger kids as the older people move out. Also, we live like a mile from the water and a boat ramp. HOA says no boats allowed period. I've had mine in the driveway several times for an entire week :). We also tried to change the bylaws but it requires to get a ton of signatures - just not worth it. Our HOA has tried to get an 'enforcement committee' but no success. Go figure, no one in the neighborhood wants to do it. The HOA doesn't want to hike dues to hire someone externally (thank god). We do have laws where you can't park a work truck in the driveway. One resident got fined for that. But they told him he can park it in the street. Does that make any sense? Now his truck is out front blocking the road... I'd rather have it in his driveway. I get the point of HOA's, I don't want people trashing the neighborhood bringing my property value down. But they have got to be sensible. I live next to the water and boat ramp. People should be allowed to bring there boats home to clean. Store in the front yard - no, I'm all for that rule. But in the driveway for a day or 2 - sure go for it. Thankfully I park my truck in the driveway and that is allowed here, but for you - WTF. I have a limited F-150, you also have a very nice truck. Let's be honest, these are nicer then some cars in the neighborhood! In the end, like my HOA it's nothing but old people running them that are completely out of touch. The younger people just don't have the time for this BS so are not involved. Thank god for my HOA my wife is changing that. But for a lot of people that's just not possible.

Lived in a town that had a rule about RV’s being behind privacy fence. I had to laugh every time I went down this main parkway as a house that backed up to it had a huge motor home in the back yard completely within the privacy fence. But the kicker is the yard dropped off at the road, so you could see the entire RV above the 6 ft privacy fence! I think telling someone you can’t park a vehicle in your driveway without probable cause is totally ridiculous!! I can see if it obstructs sight lines or is blocking sidewalk, but not if it’s not just because it’s a truck!

You agree to the terms, they can tell you what to, or not to do. I do not see a problem with their ridiculous rules to be honest.

[@paulrutley366]

One more sub from Perth Western Australia. Park anywhere you like bro. It's your home. Had something similar in regards to parking at a strata set of units.

[@swampfoxnews]

I would never in my life agree while I'm buying a house to move in a neighborhood with a homeowners association that can tell me anything about my home or yard or anything surrounding my home but you agree dude you read the contract you signed it you bought the house you moved in and now you refuse to follow the rules of something you chose to do you're totally in the wrong man yeah it's a stupid rule but you agreed to it when you bought the house😮

[@MadMaddie769]

as a gen z crash mechanic, i need a truck and an open garage for all my tools/projects. so what you did was exactly what needed to be done.

[@bucky29k]

When I was looking for a house 20 years ago, there was already horror stories of HOA’s. So that was my first question with every listing and if they had an HOA, I was not interested.

[@JohnnyMustasssh]

Does your truck extend out from the driveway into the sidewalk? If so, that’s probably the violation. The sidewalk is public property. Not an extension of the driveway like so many pickup drivers think.

[@Nick-Lab]

Even if you dont want to sue them, you should still let them think it is a possibility.

[@candlestick6294]

Not sure if you have kids but if you do maybe ask them to go door knocking instead of doing chore for a week they can do that to get the signatures

[@Zach-k2p]

I’m just gonna say it! You bought a home in a active HOA. You signed the loan papers after receiving the HOA rules and regs. I get that it is frustrating but everyone involved are consenting adults that agree to live under these rules. Move or obey the rules your choice

[@Z64bit]

I think you can sue them for this tbh. Especially if it's not a "junk" car they can't have that much control over what car you want. The house I live in is an HOA and its garage is converted so if that rule was enforced here it wouldn't work out

[@mikecornish4676]

I just subscribed, luv ur way of thinking and taking a stand

[@chevyvanngoghandfriends]

Not sure but I’ve been told that some HOAs have no real power…to fine or control anything on your property

[@MrEjohnston]

When we were house hunting the real estate agent was showing us a house. It was a nice house. When she said HOA I immediately said, next. Show us homes in neighborhoods without an HOA.

[@rutroh8247]

First problem, you moved into an HOA area. Never buy a home where you pay a fee to have a group of people tell you what you can and cannot do with your own home. Might as well rent. I had a 1 acre lot and received 2 notices in 2 months for it not being kept up. It was a forest, untouched, undeveloped. Sold it for a profit the 3rd month.

[@Maria-ip1vh]

Wow! Park in your driveway!! My neighbor down the street has a semi he parks in the backyard! We live in the city!

[@TurboThrill85]

Congratulations now. HOAs can’t ban residents from parking personal vehicles, “including a pickup truck,” or work vehicles - that aren’t commercial vehicles - on the property. It also amends part of the law pertaining to parking law enforcement vehicles on the property to include any assigned first responder vehicle.

[@OutdoorUnlimitedCooking]

Delt with the same issue in my Palmetto, FL neighborhood. The term "truck" in most HOA docs is used too broadly as it can define a Chevy Tahoe and a Semi at the same time, quite a difference. Luckily it was ammended to define classes of "trucks" and further language around commercial vehicles with company branding. Good luck brother

[@jd-one.9468]

Your awesome stubbornness matches mine. Great work!

[@chattymatt]

I understand how frustrating that must be, but thats how HOA's be. You should be angry at yourself for not reading the terms of their agreement before you bought an entire house inside an HOA.

[@jacobstrutner8232]

They are worried their illegal money scam will be caught. Its unconstitutional to have a hoa.

[@shasims-i4p]

You should not have to have paid that to start with and I think it's pretty great that you paid it all in coin.

[@AH-qm8ub]

I’d be curious to know exactly what the bylaws say about trucks. Technically things like the 4Runner, pilot, and the Bronco sport are considered light duty trucks.

[@Wendykay2-m5u]

It's the first thing I asked when we were looking at houses. And if it was then don't waste my time. NO WAY IS SOMEONE TELLING ME WHAT TO DO AT MY OWN HOME.

[@tid418]

I told the agent only to show me houses in non HOA areas. He obliged.

[@Step-n-Wolf]

I know a guy in Minnesota filled a wheelbarrow with pennies and dumped them in the courtroom, not in the wrappers, made a big mess.

[@jeffreymckoy4477]

You are my Hero!! HOA’s are useless and evil. When you payed your fine in coins , that was the best!! I also learned alot from listening to your videos regarding HOA”s

[@neooverby3750]

I had something g similar happen in my first condo I bought. They had assigned parking and covered . I’m a mobile diesel mechanic and needed my service truck for work. I’d park in my assigned parking and the truck did fight within the lines I got a letter saying I can’t have it here blah blah blah. I went to the meeting and told them they are inhibiting my right to work and make a living to support my family. They never bothered me again lol

[@dukebacher1216]

About 35 years ago I worked for an older gentleman that had moved to AZ from Sicily. He was "gifted" a Mint-Condition El Camino by his "friends" in the old country.... The vehicle was stunning. (but was about a foot too long to fit in his garage.) His HOA sent him a complaint/fine. His solution was to have Vinnie, Carmine, and Guido stop by their homes, introduce themselves, and discuss the matter.... Complaint was dropped, no fine, and **poof!** instant harmony.

*Ha!, ha! The word "Capiche?" immediately comes to mind.*
