FAQ
Yes. HOA may restrict breeds.
Yes, any member in the HOA community can report on the Dog and can request the HOA on removal. When that happens, hire an animal law practitioner for advice and your next steps.
Documentation for Service Animals in HOAs You cannot restrict service animals in HOAs, but you can ask homeowners for proof or documentation. Service animals do not require specific documentation to be considered service animals.
HOAs can deny a request if the animal poses a direct threat to the safety or health of others, or if it could significantly damage property. HOAs can request documentation that ``reasonably supports'' the person's disability and need for the animal.
A number of breeds have been restricted or banned, including Rottweilers, American Staffordshire Bull Terriers ("Pit Bulls"), Chow Chows, German Shepherd Dogs, and Doberman Pinschers, and the list is growing.

The HOA cannot impose pet restrictions on these animals. They are not allowed to refuse certain breeds, weights, or sizes. Service animals are also allowed in all areas of the property. As standard practice, the HOA can ask for service animal documentation.
