Ugly situation here.

When we moved into the new house, we asked about a fence (pet containing)....they said “..sure—the home owners association is ‘loose’ and they haven’t turned anything down yet.”

Sure enough — one of the board members stopped by on day one - I told him I was looking at both a wooden fence and the more expensive (maintenance free) vinyl fence....and he said - when you decide - call one of the board members and they’ll approve it.

Anyway, they have a procedure and a form - requiring submittal of a plan and pictures of the fence....and I was at my office filling all of this out when my wife comes in and says “they approved the fence - a board member walked up to her while she was pulling weeds and approved the fence.

So I stop filling out forms and went to Home Depot....bought a fence and a month after it’s installed - I get a certified letter.....the fence is not approved.

Tell them to stick it! I get so tired of people telling homeowners what they can or can't do, in regards to things like personal choice of fences, etc.
