HOA is as legal as the day is long. They absolutley can place a lien on your home, they can take you to court and get a judgement against you and garnish your wages.

Fighting an HOA legally is not your best move. Get to know the board, volunteer to server or help out and you will get your concerns listened to.

You will lose this fight if you go legal

Maybe. There was a case in Alexandria (VA, not LA) where an HOA decided a homeowner's campaign signs were an inch too large or some such nonsense and tried to impose fines. Turned out that due to a technicality in the bylaws the HOA did not in fact have the authority to impose fines, and the HOA wound up going bankrupt due to legal fees and a court judgement.

But that's a rare exception.
