Our HOA has the right and responsibility to keep this community looking good, which includes insuring that each homeowner maintains their individual property to standards meant to keep the value of the entire community up. The rights and responsibility of our HOA should end at my front door...BUT.... Unfortunately the HOA took it upon themselves (5people) to legally give them the right to enter our homes to check for violations. INSIDE our homes!!!! The violation is having someone live with me who is not part of their single family policy. Yes!! They get to decide what constitutes as a family. Right now it is husband/wife/children under 18yrs of age. Modern families....good luck being accepted and welcomed. The HOA wants us to ask permission for our children to return living with us after college. We have to pay for yearly back round checks and $100 a year for use of the facilities that we as homeowners own. It is done for the sake of keeping every one ""safe"" because our children may have gone out into the world and done grave danger to others.
