You totally missed the point. I & everyone else agreed to all their ‘rules’. They’re lying in their bylaws and don’t even follow their own articles of incorporation. We were all told the dues were for OUR road maintenance. All the dues/maintenance go to a few not on county paved roads. The HOA has never maintained the county paved roads, but they tell every buyer they do...even in writing. This isn’t about an “HOA” its’ about fraud. The corporation is filed as a ‘mutual benefit’ corportion. It isn’t. It only benefits a few, so there are different classes of memberships, or should be, but we all pay the same.
It does no good to ‘run for office’. Each lot gets one vote. Realtors (like the one on the board who sold me my home!)own many lots...surprise ALL on gravel roads!
Okay, so you have a case of breach of contract (or maybe, as you suggested, fraud). Do you have legal counsel? It would be a good idea to have your case reviewed by a professional.
And yes, I need to read the article before posting. But often complaints about HOA's are indeed miscast as property rights matters and not contract matters.
