| Feb 11, 2022 at 16:08 | comment | added | Amazon Dies In Darkness | Yes, this is typical. But my recommendation is to cancel any purchase of a home that has a mandatory HOA. I realize there's little chance of you doing this, but you'll thank me (or wish you followed my recommendation) in the following years. | |

| Feb 10, 2022 at 16:47 | comment | added | Codes with Hammer | @JonathanReez HOA rules generally cover two areas: Manage things like common amenities; and sell units (either from the builder or from current owners). | |
| Feb 10, 2022 at 6:52 | comment | added | JonathanReez | @Nicholas its really sad that every HOA has rules of some sort. I don't understand why HOAs can't just manage things like common amenities and leave the rulemaking to municipalities. | |
| Feb 9, 2022 at 19:09 | comment | added | CGCampbell | I'm curious, does your development have parking spots, or individual garages? | |
| Feb 9, 2022 at 14:08 | comment | added | MonkeyZeus | @Nicholas From my comment on the law.stackexchange question: "You don't join an HOA because you wish to be controlled; you join because you wish to control your neighbors." | |
| Feb 9, 2022 at 13:55 | comment | added | Nicholas | @Concerned_Citizen As a member of our HOA board I'd have to warn that you often have precious little agency and control over anything unless there are like minds on the board with you. Sometimes not even then; changing many of our bylaws, for instance, requires 90% of community members to sign...none of those have ever changed. In two years I have accomplished nothing on my board and wasted countless hours. In the end the easiest solution (and the one many HOA members chose after experiencing an HOA first hand) is to sell and build a new house outside of an HOA. | |

| Feb 9, 2022 at 3:22 | comment | added | Acccumulation | When I first read this, I thought you meant that you when you move in, you'll be charged for all time from now until then, retroactively. It would be more understandable why you're asking if that were the case. | |

| Feb 8, 2022 at 18:58 | comment | added | MonkeyZeus | @Concerned_Citizen As an early-adopter I imagine you'd have a solid chance of getting on the HOA board! | |

| Feb 8, 2022 at 18:52 | comment | added | Concerned_Citizen | @MonkeyZeus Thanks. All the more reason to join the HOA board! | |
| Feb 8, 2022 at 18:50 | comment | added | MonkeyZeus | Here are some of those fun things: law.stackexchange.com/q/71149 | |
| Feb 8, 2022 at 18:48 | comment | added | MonkeyZeus | My comment was rhetorical. What you want or think is "fair" is not how an HOA operates. Good luck as you discover more fun things that HOAs do... | |

| Feb 8, 2022 at 18:40 | comment | added | MonkeyZeus | Think of it this way. If you're buying a home in an established HOA because you really like the plan for a new common area then do you not pay HOA fees until that common area is built? | |
| Feb 8, 2022 at 18:33 | comment | added | littleadv | The builder essentially acts as HOA until there are enough owners ("enough" defined in the bylaws) | |
| Feb 8, 2022 at 18:33 | comment | added | Concerned_Citizen | @PeteB. This is NOT about me having faith in the builder or not. All I want to confirm is whether I can be charged HOA even when the community is not completed yet. | |

| Feb 8, 2022 at 18:12 | comment | added | Pete B. | Why do you think it is illegal? If you have that little faith in the builder perhaps you should buy a different home. This is a common situation in many states. | |
