FAQ
Unfortunately, yes, an HOA can fine you for backyard rule violations if the rules are spelled out in the community's governing documents. HOAs often have rules about things like backyard maintenance, fencing, or even how you landscape. If you're breaking those rules, the HOA is within its rights to fine you.
HOAs can control what you do with your house (and your vehicles while they are on HOA controlled land) for exactly one reason: You agreed to it when you bought the house, and you agreed to it in writing in front of a creditable witness on a valid contract.
Can they? Technically yes. But the vast majority of HOAs will refrain from doing so. Structural renovations are a separate issue; you often can't change the structure or layout of your condo without permission, but you can almost always paint, replace fixtures and cabinets, etc.
HOAs possess the authority to levy fines against homeowners who violate community rules, including those pertaining to backyard modifications. Fines may escalate for repeated infractions or failure to comply with HOA directives.
Some HOA regulations restrict what you can store inside your garage space. This is put in place to eliminate clutter and potential hazards in the area. Parking. Your HOA may require you to store and park all vehicles either in the garage or in the driveway, rather than on the street.
HOAs can create and enforce backyard rules If the association has written rules in the governing documents, and those rules do not conflict with any state or county laws, then the board is within its right to tell you that your fence can only be a certain height or that pools are strictly prohibited.
What are unenforceable HOA rules? Keep you out of court. Hush up litigation. Discriminate indiscriminately. Enter your home without cause or notice. String you out on the (clothes)line. Fine you for fun. Change rules on the fly. Demand you take down your dish.
So, can the HOA tell you what to do inside your house? Yes, but with some big caveats — they can't just show up on your doorstep and roam around your property whenever they want. That's right; an HOA's reach extends to setting and enforcing community rules, but it doesn't override your rights as a homeowner.
Garden soil is no good for containers because it's too dense and the roots won't get enough air or water. The plant will drown. Potting mix includes stuff like perlite or vermiculite that helps keep the soil loose and prevents it from becoming compacted.
Generally, all plants when put outside should be grown in bright shade, gradually exposing them to more and more direct sunlight for those that require it. Even cacti can burn if exposed to direct sunlight outdoors when first moved from indoors.
