I've seen the hate for HOAs here for awhile, but as of yesterday I get it. Got a letter that our dues are going up slightly... that's fine...to put up a new perimeter fence around the subdivision...WTF?!?

My house has an open backyard which opens up to woods. The view from the windows and the patio was a huge part of the reason we bought this house. Now they want ME to pay THEM to obstruct my view.... frick off!

Does anyone here know if I have any legal ground to stop this stupid shite? What could/would they do if I disassembled the portion that encloses my property?

Screw them and their fence...I'm gonna find a way to keep my view

You rally the homeowners to shoot it down. You need a majority

Right now there are 6-7 people commenting on the facebook page, all of which are oppose to this. So that's a good start

It is not. The woods are not deep, and on the other side of it is what I think is a natural gas site of some sort, so there is no room to develop anything in between. We checked on stuff like that because we didn't want to lose our view. I know it's not as grand as people who love out on the country, but it's damn fine for what you can get while also living close to bars/restaurants and all that.

Is the purpose of the fence for crime reduction? There's got to be some sort of reason for the fence.
Are people freaking out that they saw a raccoon or something in someone's garbage?

Is it in the covenant you signed that they can build one on your property or is the boundary their property?

If it is your property and they don't own the boundary, just send them a certified letter saying you do not want the fence on your property and to skip you. Get a lawyer if they try to force you and trespass those bastards if they attempt. It's not that hard.


Or you could beat them to the punch and put a fence on your line that doesn't obstruct your view.
