Having fought BOTH my home owner's association (HOA)
and a local municipality, at different times , at considerable
legal expense, I learned that *if* there are laws on the city's books,
shout all you want about "your property", but rest assured, it
will be an uphill battle (read $), and most likey, you'll eventually lose.
HOA's are another story.. They generally have more restrictions,
and less teeth, especially if there is not some law to back up their
issue with you. If you move into a house and don't check out the
deed restrictions, shame on you.... If they are trying to force
some local "association decision" down your throat, shame on them..
Cheers,
