Holy crap they can put a lien on your house?
And their bylaws can extend to controlling your ability to renovate and repair your house.
You make the payments, but any major visual changes are subject to someone else's approval. Do it anyway, they'll fine you. Don't pay the fine, they'll take it out of the equity of the home.
One hilarious outcome was when one homeowner sued because someone on a power trip was getting spiteful...the HOA lost in court and had to pay all legal fees. Had to sell the community lot to pay for it.
And they actually left ANGRY at the "selfish" people who tore apart the community because they just had to have their deck.
You have to agree to it, but there is nothing to stop you being bound to a deal breaker rule AFTER you move in. If you are in the minority, frick you. And while not all HOAs are bad, the structure often allows it to be easily corrupted.
