Welcome to the scam that is HOAs! Builder are allowed to bypass some zoning bylaws and the municipality gets to add to the tax base....but not have to provide the expensive services like maintain the roads or the infrastrucure! You on the other hand pay the full tax burden...AND the HOA fee to! Meanwhile there is little to no state oversight of where your HOA money is going. Just try to ask to examine the books! You will find yourself getting notices of 'violations' and fines for your transgressions. Then try to call the Attorney Generals office for help...They will tell you to hire your own attorney to the tune of 20-30 thousand dollars! HOAs are a scam that enriches lawyers and property managers to the point where they have formed THEIR OWN LOBBYING ORGANIZATION! The Community Associations Institute makes sure that NO laws are passed that provide oversight, constraints on board power, election fraud protection...on and on. The more conflict the better to HOA attorneys...and conflict is what HOAs are ALL ABOUT!
