What I find interesting about where I currently live is rules you'd expect at the HOA level are actually at the township level: how tall your grass can be before it must be cut, how many cars you can park outside and where, maintaining exterior structures like fences, etc. All are laws in the town I live in. I've never seen that before.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoI think the difference would be that with an HOA there is a resource of people eager to enforce these rules vs the township that probably can’t be bothered to?
- city41 5y agoI haven't lived here too long yet. But I have noticed several notices placed on lawns regarding the length of the grass. At first I assumed they were HOA notices, but upon closer inspection they were from the city. edit: here is one of the notices if curious: https://i.imgur.com/xJABpPf.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xJABpPf.jpg
- citrin_ru 5y agoThis grass look pretty good to me. I expect mowing grass almost to the ground and then watering and fertilizing so it would not die from such abuse is a huge waste of resources on a national scale. Obsession with low mowed lawns is something I just cannot understand.
- supertrope 5y agoHOAs allow townships to kick enforcement of these minor things down a level. They also get to dodge asking voters to approve a tax as it's now in the form of an HOA fee.
- shakezula 5y agoThis is exactly what they do - They're just another corporation with state backing that you have to pay to live. State capitalism.
