HOA parking

[vossman]

Have any of your communities fought the HOA street parking rules and won? We were allowed to park on the street for a while then they just changed it again.

When election season comes around go door to door campaigning to your neighbors on what bullshit the parking situation is, run for your HOA and get elected, sit on the board for a few months, make the change you desire, then resign and let someone who isn't a control freak take over.


There you have it...that's how you fight it.

Check with the city/county you live in. Likely the streets are owned by the city or county and the HOA cannot enforce anything on city/county owned property. The city/county ordinances apply.

Of course an HOA can tell you they can limit street parking. They can make you life hell. But likely you will win in court. And then there will be no more HOA if you sue the officers/directors. If the HOA doesnt have the funds to settle the money you will be owed for attorney's fees, they will file bankruptcy.

How far to you want to push it? How much money do you have to push it?

Nice. I just may do that.

Especially talk with those who might have multiple vehicles who need more parking space or for when their friends and family come to visit. Look for pro gun and pro freedom bumper stickers and American flags flying a good way to build up your base of support.

That's not how HOA's work. If you show up, you get elected to be a board member.

Are you actually in COS or Peyton? We/I are dealing with this right now! I moved in and there is a deep rooted neighborhood control group vs neighborhood watch. They ran off the previous owners of this home and I felt there was something up during the purchase. They were mad about something and I'm now feeling it as well. People working coordinated complaints for anything in the two block group of fine HOA breakers themselves. I have cars... collector and hot rods and they were all nosey when I moved in and each casually coming around but were simply up to no good. Parked on the street with two daily drivers for 1 1/2 years with no problem. However, after listening to a barking dog "good dog BTW" but was left out daily to be alone. There was other neighbors who casually ask me how I put up with it... they had complained already for a long while it seems. So, when I can't catch neighbors as they don't socilize and stay inside mostly, I put in an HOA complaint. Then I get two big piles of dog shit on my covered concrete porch. In my lifetime with many dogs... neighbors dogs tend to crap in your yard but not the porch! I highly suspect the chess player neighbor from behind and not the dog owner orchastrated this with another neighborhood "control member" to leash his dogs over to my porch knowing, I would think the barking dog next door did it. It sucks not to know for sure but anyways... after the barking complaint and the crap and complaint of said crap, I'm getting hammered for parking on the street! This is my first HOA and I intended for this to be my forever home. I will not be ran off you can bet on that! I was here for approx six weeks in 2017 when my beautiful green grass in my back yard had a pile of human feces right dead center! I'm old enough to know what it looks like! Within weeks there was an area over night died and was in the shap of a 5 gal bucket of what ever tossed on it! We all should open a new community of gun loving hot rod driving only members!
