Hah! If they don't like "the idea" of chickens, they REALLY aren't going to like the goats and sheep. Having 11 acres opens up a whole new world for me. I've always wanted a mini farm - my new property is zoned for exactly that! First the chickens, then maybe I'll get lucky next spring and get...

Really, people are calling the health department on you for chickens? How pathetic. I wonder how much free time those people would have if they spent it doing something constructive instead of focusing on other people's lives and properties.I often wonder that about our own HOA board members. It...

For real. I'm beyond over it. I'm keeping the coop in my backyard for now. Our HOA has next to nothing as far as funds to enforce anything, so it'll take them a long time before they will really "do" anything. The coop can be moved if/when they really get serious about me being in violation...

That sounds exactly like our area. 80% of the homes here are very old - think 50s-70s homes that aren't remodeled or even well maintained. The other 20% are mid 90s or new construction - all in HOAs. So you basically have to choose - HOA or total remodel/demolition project. Or have the money to...

Hah! As of the updated covenants that were sent out, they want to limit just about everything in your backyard. We're in violation over several things that were previously no issue. Our shed (which is behind our vinyl privacy fence) is technically too big. They added a clause that says no one...

Oh, that’s another new “update” to the rules. Previously, our trash cans were to be stored in the garage until the day before trash day. Fine, that’s understandable. NOW, we have a specific timeframe that the cans can be out. No earlier that 5pm the day before trash day and they MUST be brought...

Seriously. They’re such a waste of time, money and resources. Never again! I’m not all that sure what HOAs, or people in general, are so afraid of when it comes to a few well managed backyard chickens. We have a neighbor two doors down (which is 2 acre parcels away, mind you) who have two dogs...

Hi all! I don't really come here seeking advice or work-arounds, but I have an interesting HOA situation that I figured some might find entertaining, or at least view it as a cautionary tale before buying into an HOA, hah! Sorry it's so long, apparently I'm in a story telling mood. I live in a...
