We actually live in an HOA, had to get permission last summer to put up a wooden fence (had a steel one before). We submitted it along with 2 other households to replace the fencing, each was responsible for putting up the fence within 60 days at their own cost, and they HOA required a certain size of plank and wood. That lumber was only available at a location across town:rolleyes: Anyway, our household and one other got the fences up, the third family is just lazy or something.
Anywho, we can really do anything we want in our backyard now, so long as it' not completely out there. We were probably supposed to get approved for planting trees, never did. HOA around here is pretty lenient though, not bitter old birds just middle aged folk trying to get along like the rest of the community.
