While looking at potential second homes in Florida a few years ago, we
really liked one golf course community that was part of the TPC Sawgrass complex
in Ponte Vedra Beach. We looked at several nice houses until the realtor
mentioned that one of the HOA rules was that you could only have your garage
doors open for as long as it took to get your car into or out of the
garage.
My wife and I took one look at each other and said "See ya for this
neighborhood!"
Certain HOA rules may be tolerable but this HOA wanted to control
everything about your property. I'm surprised that they didn't have a
dress code for when you are in your back yard. Or maybe they do.

HOA's -
oh boy. Our wooden fences were painted a tanish color. I got
notice to paint ours. I did I had some simi gloss exterior paint I
used to
paint the underside of the 66 VW - - Sea Sand. It was pretty
close to
original fence color. Then there was a big stink about the
color was wrong.
I told them the guys fence across the street was faded
and I had my VW
painted to match the fence. Wha ? ? ?
No, really - the guys across the
street fence is faded - THIS is the
correct color. Oh, uh, ok. And that
was the end of the
story. Heck

Interesting. In my old
neighborhood, having a garage full of exotics meant
to the HOA that there
was no end to the number of $25 fines you must be able
to pay for such
hateful crimes as exposing a garbage can or having a mailbox
that was
slightly the wrong shade of green.
Hence our recent
move...

We still
care, but there is more of a live and let live view here.
House prices in
my neighborhood are in the 180/sqft range, so we're not what
everything
thinks we are. But having talked to my HOA, if you have a garage
full of
Ferraris, you either are a flesh eating lawyer or know one and are
left
alone.
