Again, don't move into a place with a HOA if you don't want to follow the rules.
Some of us condo-owning idiots did read the CC&Rs, only to be outvoted by the majority. The owners now pay $200 per month over dues for the privilege of collectively donating to a charity owned by one of the condo owners. Don’t try to tell me it’s all about not reading before buying.
I think all HOA’s should have regulation concerning seasonal decorations. There should be a per occurance, per incident fee levied.
It could be done this way, a decoration permit must be applied for that costs say $500. The permit is good for a certain time period. Upon submission of notarized de-decoration affidavit, a posse will sent out to verify said de-decoration affidavit. If the homestead hasn’t been de-decorated by a seasonal cut-off date, the permit fee is forfeit. Furthermore, a per incident fine is levied for each day the homestead is decorated, say $50.
I think that’s the best way to keep those dang icicle lights hanging from peoples homes in July. Know what I mean?
That would work great for all sorts of things. Want to endorese a candidate for a non-endorsed candidate campaign sign, just file the appropriate permit, pay the fee, plus the non-endorsed candidate fee, plus a pro-rated security deposit for the anticipated period for display. If somebody causes property damage to one’s home because the candidate of choice was unapproved, you lose your security deposit. Same with flags.
