Well, it's not really an HOA, as it was created before HOA's existed. Technically, it's the largest in the state, at over 805+ lots. The HOA is technically the road maintenance group/fund. We pay $35/month, so extremely limited. They have very little control, as there are 7 (known of) "cc&r's" that are attached to each lot. Problem is, as you see, there are 7 different rules and restrictions.

Part of this drama is the HOA trying to legislate a new, all-inclusive document. Problem is, they need 70%+ to change the documents. No vote is considered a "NO", so community reach is a constant uphill battle....

Keep in mind, the HOA as it currently sits, can't do a whole lot, legally, except they're pretty efficient at wasting community money (typical fiat).
