HOA boards are meant to serve their community, but sometimes they exceed the powers granted by governing documents or state law. Overreach can include creating new rules without proper authority, ignoring homeowner rights, or making decisions without transparency. Understanding these patterns can help protect your rights.
“In Smith v. Green Oaks HOA, the board attempted to levy fines for landscaping choices not addressed in any official documents. The court ruled the board had acted beyond its authority, emphasizing homeowners’ rights to clear, fair governance.”
