re: You HOA lovers care to defend this?

Did you miss the part where the state law allows a flagpole up to 20 ft? The HOA does not supersede state law.

You haven’t lived until your HOA is taken over by one of Baton Rouge’s slimiest cocksucking shysters. He had a field day with the HOA stationary, and woe be into those that challenged him.

In a statement to WOFL-TV, The Countryside PUD Unit III-B HOA, Inc. Board of Directors said that they never told the veteran homeowner that the "flagpole/flag was prohibited." "Factually, this has never been about a flag or a flagpole. The resident was told via multiple correspondences that he absolutely can have them. The situation boils down to that he failed to submit an ARC application, which is required for flagpoles by the HOA. That rule has been in place since 1990," they said.

The resident was given multiple opportunities to remedy the situation including assistance from the American Legion and the Elks. He also was given an opportunity at a hearing that he never showed up for. Florida Statute makes it clear that an HOA resident also needs to follow the governing documents which he has failed to do. This situation is no different than any other architectural guidelines in our docs. As a result, a fine was imposed, and he failed to pay the fine."

So they're suing him over not filling out a form. Just leave the old veteran alone

also wonder why the guy refused to just submit the document
Often the ARC review requires a fee with the review request. I've seen the fee in the thousands.

As stupid as it is, it's not about the flag but the flag pole....
Your statement is misleading...
and yes, HOAs can suck a dick...

Management company still gets paid from somewhere. Since HOAs are non profit, dues are the only way.
Right. Dues should be how they get paid. Not going after people for petty infractions in order to generate revenue via fines.

Judges fault for allowing it to go forward.

No. The pole is legal under Florida law. It's about the HOA being cocksuckers.

HOA has nothing to do with politics, bro.
And yes. I know it’s a US flag, but there’s nothing political about this HOA story.

I can see a Constitutional property right issue in there.

I get that, but the OP statement is misleading, he's said they're not letting him fly the flag, it's about the flag pole. He has an American flag on his house, which no one is complaining about.
I get that the pole is legal under Florida law, and the HOA is full of shite, but flying the flag is not was the law suit is about.
I can't stand HOAs, and I chose to live in a neighborhood that doesn't have one. Screw those slimy cock suckers...

It's about the HOA process and the fee.

Sue what? None of my business.

Anyone who sides with a HOA on any issue is anti-American. For every example of a house bringing down neighborhood values there are 1000 examples of petty bullshite where all the money people pay gets used to sue or put liens on houses for asinine and infuriating reasons.
Posted on 5/31/25 at 7:44 am to Dex Morgan
It sucks for this guy but if you can make the decision: don't live in an HOA. You give up a lot of rights.

quote:I’m interested in seeing how the law gets interpreted. Will it be seen as the law only preventing local governments from blocking residents in general from having a flagpole or will it apply to private neighborhoods also?
Florida law allows a flagpole up to 20 ft on residential property. His flagpole is in compliance.
Nothing is illegal about storing a boat trailer in your driveway in my town / parish, but our HOA still prohibits it. Its part of the bylaws / rules we agreed to when buying in this neighborhood.

HOAs can do some things that are helpful but too often they turn into a committee of Karens and become a nightmare shitshow.
