Many residential communities have homeowners associations (HOA’s) or property owners associations (POA’s) which govern architectural standards, common area maintenance and community rules. Since some have golf or club amenities, whether the HOA/POA owns the club or not it has a vested interest in the club’s economics.

Below, find eight unenforceable HOA rules: 1. Discriminate indiscriminately Your homeowners association board might like to play at being tyrants, but here’s a line it can’t cross: the Fair Housing Act.
The source for almost all your HOA's rules will be your governing documents. These documents are created during the formation of the association—usually by the developer of a property. Once the developer turns over control of the community, your HOA is run by an elected board of directors. This board has the power to implement additional rules.
Additional HOA Rules and Regulations. Your HOA can pass additional regulations to help enforce and clarify the rules outlined within their CC&Rs. These rules often can be adopted by the board without a vote from all the homeowners if they aren’t more restrictive than existing guidelines.
When you purchase a home that’s part of a community association, you automatically become a member of the association and become responsible for following all its rules and regulations. The primary purpose of having community rules and standards is to protect your investment as a homeowner and provide a common framework for neighbors.

Additionally, local, state, and federal government bodies also pass new laws that may create or alter regulations that are set by your association.
While the rules and regulations of an HOA are legally binding for association members, they generally aren’t enforceable by law enforcement. Instead, violations of association guidelines are considered a civil matter between the HOA and offending member. As such, any dispute that can't be resolved at the community level will need to be handled by mediation or in civil court. The exception to this is when your HOA's rules overlap other laws. These laws could include parking violations for public streets or county noise restrictions that may mirror your HOA rules.
Not following HOA rules can carry legal and financial consequences. Enforcement policies may include warnings, fines, and more. If penalties aren't paid, your HOA may act by placing a lien on your home. However, most violations get corrected with a friendly reminder by phone or mail.

Indian Shores Property Owners Association is home to about 520 single family homes. Located in Crosby, the amenities in Indian Shores consist of a sparkling swimming pool and clubhouse that looks out to beautiful Lake Houston.
Florida, too, has its own homeowner-friendly rules: HOAs can’t restrict plants simply because they’re not in the community’s overall design plan. If you’re a homeowner in one of those states, persuading your HOA to embrace eco-friendly policies isn’t impossible.
Your homeowners association board might like to play at being tyrants, but here’s a line it can’t cross: the Fair Housing Act.
But there’s a reason that a stigma exists against homeowners associations: Board members on a power trip can institute and enforce some ridiculous restrictions.
If you do suspect something shady is afoot concerning what is included (and what isn’t included) in your HOA rules, start requesting documents and attending public meetings.
And slipping HOA rules in under the cover of darkness is a big no-no. The regulations for how new rules can be enacted should be outlined in your CC&Rs—and if the HOA isn’t following its own stipulations, you have a valid complaint for any secret swashbuckling.
Of course, that doesn’t mean your HOA board will roll over, either; you might need to appeal the fine.
You might find that some HOAs still have antenna restrictions written into their covenants. These may be retro artifacts from pre-1997, when the FCC rule came into play.

July 16th, 2018. Many residential communities have homeowners associations (HOA’s) or property owners associations (POA’s) which govern architectural standards, common area maintenance and community rules. Since some have golf or club amenities, whether the HOA/POA owns the club or not it has a vested interest in the club’s economics.
If a club or community boasts about having the lowest dues, one can be certain that the level of services and the value in membership will be compromised. Often, a club has to choose between privacy/exclusivity and opening up to the outside.
In addition to building golf courses to provide a recreational/lifestyle amenity to homeowners, developers used them to enhance sale prices so homeowners have a vested interest in protecting and preserving the premium value of their homes created by the club. When the club declines, home values typically follow and a domino effect is created which can often cripple a community. This should be of great concern to homeowners and the HOA/POA.
There’s often a conflict because some demand financial independence of the clubs while others feel the community as a whole benefits from the club and all should support the club.
In most cases, the owner/operator of the club requires a financial return (profit) and if the club is struggling, budget cuts are often employed to stop the bleeding, which can precipitate that decline.
The HOA/ POA currently subsidizes the golf operations and seems to have established a limit as to how much they’re willing to contribute. Among the choices HOA’s/POA’s encounter are: Key to understanding the best way to go is comprehending the club’s “culture”.
Choices include maintaining the club as private for community residents, open up membership to non-residents or to allow some amount of daily-fee play from both residents and non-residents . In age-restricted communities there is often a concern for security and opening the gates to the outside can be perceived as risky. There is sometimes the option of simply raising the HOA dues given that all residents (whether they’re golfers or not) benefit from a thriving club in the community. Needless to say, just like taxes, raising dues is never popular.
