@@foxtrotwolf6081 Are you in Florida? I’m currently looking to sell my place and I’d like to stay in the same city… but unfortunately, as soon as I exclude HOAs from the search parameters, the listings drop from 1,853 homes to 404 homes. THAT’s why people have no choice but to join a community with an HOA. 45% of Florida homes are in an HOA, and the numbers where I live are clearly even worse. Given how competitive the market is in Florida right now-especially where I am-people have to take what they get or be homeless. 404 properties is not a lot when you live in one of the fastest growing cities in the country. That’s a lot of people vying for very few homes to go around. As for me… I’ve had enough and I’m leaving Florida because I simply can’t find what I want/need unless I keep caving to HOAs. I really can’t do it anymore. I knew they’d be a problem when I first moved here, but I simply didn’t have a choice given where I needed to be. 8 years passed without a problem and now my entire community is in an uproar. Trying to move has made it clear that HOAs are the norm here and they have too much control; they’re not going anywhere anytime soon. We aren’t given enough choice in some cities-because the cities themselves prioritize HOAs over everything else. It’s cheaper for the city when communities are privatized.

@ffakrАй бұрын
@@douglasphillips1203 The root cause is often a lack of resources. Imagine some developer wants to build a new sprawling neighborhood and add more streets to plow, more public spaces to maintain, etc. Unfortunately, towns generally don't have slush funds sitting around to cover the possibility that there may be 'more town' to take care of in 6 months so they enact rules requiring new subdivisions to setup HOAs to directly tax the residents of those areas through Fees, and to cover their own maintenance with those funds. In some areas, it's almost impossible to find housing that ISN'T in an HOA for this reason. I had a buddy who eventually moved from his recently build neighborhood.. not because of an HOA.. but because every house in the subdivision got hit with a special tax assessment to cover the cost of all the infrastructure required by the neighborhood. Sure, he got a newish McMansion in the boonies for maybe $500K (10-15 years ago).. but that neighborhood required major infrastructure projects when it was built.. new sewers, water lines, power, data, etc. The Town they fell inside of decided the best way to fund that was by borrowing money that those residents had to pay off through a special property tax assessment. I think he was paying about 5% of the value of his house in property taxes every year.. and after accepting that for a while, he just moved on.

My HOA sucks too. At the meetings they always say they have over $400,000 in reserves, yet they want to hike the HOA fees so they'll have money "just in case". They pay a security company $28,000 a year to have a guy who barely speaks English walk around 3 days a week from 1pm-9pm, and hand out violation notices for cars being parked incorrectly or not having their parking pass hanging from the rear view mirror. He gave me one for that because my mirror fell off the windshield and I placed the tag on the dash so he can easily read it when he made his rounds. But because it wasn't hanging on the mirror, I got a warning. He's not here to police the property for the residents, he's here to police the residents for the property. Any crime that happens will happen after 9pm so it's pointless to even pay $28,000 a year for 24 hours a week of "security".

My Parents home owners association had the rule about not parking boats, RVs, campers, commercial vehicles, or pickups in the driveway. The bylaws had no mention about parking in the street, the city and county both allowed parking in the street. So my dad parked his pick up in the street. They threw a fit. If the road was owned and maintained by the association they have a right to prevent parking on the street but since the roads and drainage was maintained by the County there was nothing they could do about it. After a couple of months they broke down and allowed pickups to be parked in the driveway.

HOAs aren't necessarily out of control but there are exceptions. Despite The Meadows attempt to shield themselves under Kaufman, it wouldn't hold up in court. 1. HOAs may pass rules and regulations that do not conflict with federal, state, and local laws and ordinances 2. HOAs may, in certains cases, make rules that have greater restriction, i.e. the city allows lawn mowing between 7 am - sunset, an HOA may pass a restriction of 8 am - 5 pm 3. HOAs must comply with all federal, state, and local laws. A private community is not exempt. In this case, the HOA officers may have received incorrect guidance. Should residents file a suit against the HOA, they would likely prevail and could recover damages for themselves and the HOA if it is determined the elected / appointed officers failed in their fiduciary duty. While unlikely, they could be charged criminally. 4. The news report stated that the HOA has entered resident's properties to affix letters, warning, and towing of vehicles. This is illegal, regardless of any C&R or bylaw. Unless a vehicle is derelict, it rarely can be removed. HOAs may fine, in accordance with federal, state, local, and HOA regulations but may not enter the property. This HOA should cease and desist entering any property for such reason; certified mail has a purpose. The takeaway is that the HOA officers likely need training. HOA boards are a community of volunteers and often seek advice from property management companies. Sadly, many property managers are under trained, overworked, and can be bonused on up sales (mailers, notices, legal counsel, fines, etc.).

I do have to say, the oversized van has no business parking in a private drive as it would be unsightly. But pick up trucks, if kept presentable like the ones in this video should definitely be allowed to be parked in their driveways. Additionally, if an HOA, as in this case, does not allow residents to park their pick up trucks in their own driveway. That HOA should be made responsible for providing a reasonably distanced secure parking area for those vehicles and provide it to the residents free of charge. An HOA collects enough monthly to make that happen. No special assessments allowed for maintaining that parking facility. It is fully the HOA’s financial responsibility.

According to the video because the statue does not include "Kaufmann Language" it does not have to comply with laws made after the HOA documents are drafted. Essentially they can apply old laws and ignore new laws. Given this why would any agreement include Kaufmann language, it seems advantageous to not have it so you can act outside the law if you want to. The HOA have found a legal way to defy the new law. Presumably a case will need to be brought against them to force them to change the statute to comply with the new law.
