HOA Topics

These are the everyday fights: the fence, the dog, the driveway, the rental. The answer usually starts in your declaration, then in state law.

Driveways, street parking, work trucks, and guests. Where the rule has to live, and what to check before you move the car.

Pet limits, breed rules, and the fair-housing difference between a pet and an assistance animal.

Height, material, and the architectural approval you need before the posts go in the ground.

Approved palettes, faded paint notices, and how to get a color approved before you buy the cans.

Why a city license does not beat a minimum-lease covenant, and what grandfathering actually requires.

Many states limit an association's ability to ban rooftop solar. The details are in the statute, not in a palette.

The federal protection for the United States flag, and why other flags are a different question.

Quiet hours, nuisance clauses, and the log you need before a fine means anything.

Who can use the pool, guest limits, and what a safety rule is allowed to do.

Doorbell cameras, common-area cameras, and the difference between your door and the association's street.

Lawns, drought rules, and who has to water the strip between the sidewalk and the street.
