HOA Discrimination?

Not allowed in my hood either. Does your truck not fit in the garage? That would be the easy solution. Another thing you can do, if you really want to piss her off (and, trust me, you do) is to find out if the HOA owns the streets. It's highly unlikely since it means the HOA is responsible for upkeep and repairs. So its likely the county owns them. That means if you park on the street, there is nothing the HOA can do.

We have a guy in here who own six vehicles and only one is parked in the garage (his bike). Granted, they are all nice cars, but there are at least two on the street every single day and neighbors complains about him. I don't really care because he's a cool Asian dude that likes guns, bikes, and Beamers so we get along. Anyhow, he has been getting notices for years and has yet to recieve one fine. The HOA Prez lives next door to me and explained that since the county owns the streets, we cant really enforce fines even though they violate the covenants. Thought that was interesting. But people have recived fines and even liens for not fixing a gd crooked shutter. Never again for me.

Follow that up with Chinese Dragon tail fireworks display. ( that's about 500 firecrackers) Sneak in about 3 am. Put a lit cigarette (unlit end) on the 1st fuse on the Dragons tail. Back off and watch the fun. I've done it once and really enjoyed watching a guy in his boxer shorts try to stomp out the firecrackers.

That was YOU??!!?
How do I track ip's on this thing....
 
"Commercial Vehicles, of all types and kinds, are prohibited from being parked within the subdivision for a period of time exceeding twenty-four (24) hours except during the construction period of a residential dwelling, remodeling, or routine deliveries. This specifically includes but is not limited to all types of commercial vans, trucks, pick-up trucks and automobiles bearing commercial insignias larger than one foot square."

The way this reads, you can park it for 23 hours and 59 minutes, start it up and move it a foot, then leave it for another 23 hours and 59 minutes without being in violation. The moment it is moving, it's not parked any more.

Just a thought.

Not unless you live in MS! By the way. The vehicle I was observed this from was a State narcotics surveillance vehicle.

I'm sitting at the waffle house at the junction of 20 and 55. Is that your black truck over by the dumpster?
 
Well at the same time this came about my truck was swapped from 2wd to 4wd so the added height plus a new design for a ladder rack makes it too tall for the garage so that was out.

The street thing I'm not sure about. They amended the covenants after the high brass neighbor had a relative live with him to go to a different school and said relative had a work truck that he parked on the street because it leaked oil. When the HOA lady told the neighbor he had to park the truck in the driveway he told her no way that the truck leaked oil and he didn't want it on his driveway. She says, "yeah I know it's leaking oil all over the street." He replies, "Don't worry about it Hun the county takes care of those and they don't give a rip; call em if you don't believe me". So they amended it later on that vehicles had to be parked in The driveway or garage. If she had it her way all vehicles would have to be parked in The garage, this is what she told my wife before all this stuff went down.

So I will try and keep this short. I don't normally put my business out there, no reason I just don't. I don't do facespace so I come here. Probably something to do with how much I hate Drama. Anyway...

My family and I Recently moved into a home that we currently lease with the intent to buy. We reside across the street from the head of the HOA. I drive a company vehicle. A 2013 Truck with a ladder rack and signage on the Front doors. I keep it relatively clean; not an eyesore.

After roughly 3 months we get an email stating we are in violation of the covenants and it's "Commercial Vehicle" Rule,Policy whatever you want to call it. After a little resistance via emails (more on why the resistance later) i complied and parked the truck about 10 minutes away at my inlaws. I did this because the actual owners of the homes are friends of ours and had quite a bit on their plates and I didn't want to make more waves in their lives with fines and whatnot.

NOW, since Last April, when we began to frequent the neighborhood, there is a home near the front that the homeowner parks a 1 ton Utility bed (Side Boxes No ladder rack) truck with signage on the doors in the driveway. When I made mention of this in the back and forth emails it was stated to me that this vehicle is parked behind a row of trees and neighbors can't see it, and no other homeowner has made any complaints about it.

I recently spoke to the closest neighbors to my home (2 homes; number 3 is HOA Lady), who also don't care for her, and said they could not care less if I parked my truck in my driveway. When the emails were exchanged I was told the neighbors were complaining about my vehicle specifically.

I can't confirm it, but I feel VERY certain that this lady is enforcing this "rule" only because we live across the street. the "rule" makes no mention of a ladder rack. When I asked if I had blank magnets made to cover the signage on the doors, I was told the ladder rack is still against the covenants.

If I'm breaking this rule then so is the other guy. i don't want him to have to move his truck, but I don't feel it's right to pick and choose who has to abide by the "rules" The covenants does not say all these things are only wrong if someone complains.

Anyone have any advice on how to go about fighting this? I'll post up the direct verbiage from the covenants on commercial vehicles

"Commercial Vehicles, of all types and kinds, are prohibited from being parked within the subdivision for a period of time exceeding twenty-four (24) hours except during the construction period of a residential dwelling, remodeling, or routine deliveries. This specifically includes but is not limited to all types of commercial vans, trucks, pick-up trucks and automobiles bearing commercial insignias larger than one foot square."

Yeah i I thought a out how that's worded. It's technicall only in violation on the weekends. It sits in the driveway for roughly 14 hours during the week.
 
Can you park it on the street? If so, park it in front of your neighbor's house. Ha! Then no one really knows who's it is do they?
