I wanted to put a fence up. I got approval from the HOA and put it up in June of 2007. Decemeber of 2008 rolls around and i get a letter from my HOA saying my fence needs prior approval. So I fax them the letter of approval that they emailed me in 2007. Couple months go by and i get the same letter. I'm thinking, ok they must not have got my first fax, so i faxed the approval form again. I keep getting calls and mail saying i need approval for my fence, finally i send them a fax with the approval saying here it is quit harrassing me about it. The letters keep coming, so i just toss them away. Finally i get a letter from their attorney saying i owe $1200.00 in HOA fees, $160.50 in past dues, $50.00 attorney fees, and the HOA is saying i owe $635.42 in attorney fees. Well what happened was I added privacy boards inbetween the fence slats to my existing fence. Didn't think anything of it. I didn't think it was a fence. The HOA claimed it was a second fence, when all i did was add pickets on top of existing pickets for privacy. They said in their letters ""your fence(s) need prior approval"", months after these privacy slats were added. If they had said your fence modification or changes needs approval, it would have been different. Now i'm in a pissing match with them over these fines and fees, and apparently their not wrong, i am. What do you think? They're going to steel my money or put a lien on my house and property. I've got more to blog about with this company, and you've guessed it. It's not good. But I'm tired of writing about them, they don't deserve the effort.
Pros: Taking your money
Cons: Anything you can think of
