Homeowner Associations Suck

 

Our neighborhood has ~83 single family homes, most of them built ~24-years-ago when the development was brand new.  What most buyers were unaware of at the time was that the City mandated to the developer that the neighborhood (via an HOA) would take care of certain items that cities normally would handle.  Had I known about the HOA clause (it was never brought up during the closing by the developer) I never would have purchased the house.  Since the developer went bankrupt shortly after the closing I had no legal recourse.  

Anyhoo, after an initial "Oh goody we gets to be our own gubmint and make lots of silly fucking rules!" by a few of the buyers the enthusiasm waned and now, years later, NOBODY wants to be on the HOA board.  NOBODY!  I've been approached a few times with "Hey Zack you would be perfect to handle this shit!" No way in hell, pal.  Recently there was talk that the state might revoke our HOA charter if we did not have elected board members.  Heh!  Things could get spicy!

For the first 5-months of this year we were without a management company, which was in itself a violation of city law.  Somehow or another a new management company has been hired to take care of the items mandated and (hopefully) all we as homeowners need to do is pay our annual dues.  I wrote my check and mailed it today.  I also threw away their intrusive information sheet that REQUIRED that I give them all kinds of personal information about me, my wife, my pet, my cars, my sexual preferences, etc.

    If you will not play the game, they will find someone who will and you will NOT like it. Self government is a pain in the a **, but the alternative is worse. There is virtually no way to say, "Just leave me alone".

    No HOA was one of our requirements when we bought but that does not always work. A house we bought for a rental was listed as no HOA but, surprise, there seems to be one. You could always sell and move.

    Grace and peace
