    Im in north stongeate, Windrift to be exact. Never had an issue but then again I keep my $hit tidy and squared away. Never had an issue when I lived in south stonegate either.

    Personally I dont mind HOA's, keeps you guys with 7 cars, boats and RV's from making a storage lot out of things and it looking like a dump.

    Your garage is for your cars and toys, not the 2000 boxes you were too freaking lazy to unpack when you moved in 5 years ago. My RV goes in a storage lot, so should yours.
    Mow the damn yard once a week, its not that hard and also I make my kids pickup their trash, scooters and bikes every night when they come in. Its called making them responsible.
    I bet you mow your yard in January too...

    Freaking hoa's! I don't wanna even start!

    So, was it '06 when the big snow storms hit the front range? Well I own a condo in the Fort. Got that huge snow storm, was driving an A4 at the time. Had to park 3 blocks away at the elementary school for over a month cause we weren't plowed out.

    Get a letter im the spring saying everyone owes like $300 extra this year for the snow plowing. WTF!?! So I went to the next meeting. They say they spent over $40k in snow removal during the winter! I couldnt fn drive to my garage for a month!

    I said hell, if you got a 40k budget on snow removal, just pay me! I could go rent a bobcat when it snows, clean the whole complex in a day, and not have to all year!! Filthy fuckers!

    Now I rent the condo......whole nother can 'o worms!

    My father always told me, "Son, never start a fight with an HOA, but if a fight does start, make sure you end it."

    disappointing to learn even though their numbers are few that we have any HOA Nazi's on the forum. For shame.

I just hate paying money when I am the responsible one. If they want to have an HOA and charge no dues, or only enough money to cover a nice pool or rec center that only the people within the HOA can use, then fine. But right now I feel like I pay $540 a year for nothing other than trash service.

    As I stated, my HOA doesnt mess with me and I never hear from them.

    You guys that live rural or in the Mts on land that I get and I would agree with you about hoa's up there.

    My hoa keeps the common area lawns mowed, trees pruned, mulch looking nice and fences painted and for the $75 bucks a year i pay for it that money is well spent and I could care less.

    Im a smart enough guy to know that when the paint on my house looks like ass after 10 years its prolly time to paint it. I dont need big brother sending me a note telling me to. Its common sense and I handle it.

    Call me a hoa nazi all you want. In MY situation it doesnt bother me...YMMV.

    We moved to our property in 1985, and at the time didn't have an POA (HOA). I believe it was either 98 or 99 that a POA was formed, and then a few years later some Californians decided they wanted to get on the board and make some changes. They decided they didn't want anyone shooting on their land. We had a range that had been established since we bought the place. They tried everything, including calling the Sheriff on us. The Sheriff told them there was nothing he could do, as we are in the county and on private property. They began calling my parents and telling them they couldn't shoot on their property, so my parents called the Sheriff and told them the POA was harassing them. The calls stopped quickly.
    We paid our dues every year, but since we were the only ones that lived on the west side of the canyon, the roads were not maintained. When we asked why, they said they could only maintain the east side of the canyon because that is where the majority of the people lived.
    What I got out of the entire issue was, they want our money, they want to tell us what we can and can't do on our property, but they don't want to do anything for those requests. We do whatever we want on our property within the LAW, not the POA. Why should we have to change things we have been doing for well over 20 years now because some new comers don't like it.

    So do you still pay the dues since they don't plow?
