HoA Woes

Get a copy of the CCCR's. Read them for yourself. Know what your rights are and what it is they are referring to. Attend the HOA board meetings.

Hi Holly,

I thought I had addressed this in my post, but it was late, err early (hadn't been to bed yet) when I submitted it. the issue is that some part of my trailer (the AC unit) is visible from the street (per the picture included in the letter of infraction).

Since you are in the Valley of the Sun, when you say "fence" you are probably referring to a block fence. Ask the HOA for permission to add another course of block, painting it to match the courses of block below. In my experience, it is quite common to raise the fence height, for any number of reasons. As long as the color matches, they should have no problem with that. Especially if you smarm them up a little bit. Assure them that you love the community, admire the way that they have kept the standards up, you certainly want to maintain and even improve property values, you understand the importance of the CC&Rs in doing so, and so forth. Whatever you do, don't fight them or argue with them.

Worked for me in my part of the Valley.

And next time you buy, be sure to buy in an area that doesn't have an HOA! I was very careful about that because of my ham radio station.
