It gets even more specific than that, while home owner's associations don't generate laws that lead to criminal penalties when broken, the rules HOA's create are legally binding and have probably a significant impact on many people's quality of life and every day freedom. They are very personal rules and you can get in trouble for stupid things like leaving your garage door open or how you hang your laundry. People living with HOA's have opted for trading in freedoms for slightly higher property values.
- dawnerd 11y agoMy, soon to be ex, HOA decided they want to make rules regarding public roads. If they catch you parking on said public road, they will inspect your garage and issue heavy fines if you're storing anything in it.

HOA rules aren't laws of any kind; they are legally binding only because you have entered into a contract to obey them. > People living with HOA's have opted for trading in freedoms for slightly higher property values. Or, they have opted to live in modern homes: HOAs are usually established by developers, and virtually all new development (ISTR seeing figures of 80% in CA) is subject to HOAs.
