Instead, the regulation of HOAs in Indiana is primarily governed by state statutes, the association's governing documents, and the courts.
Finally, is an HOA considered a local government? No—HOAs are not considered a local government entity. While they do hold some administrative functions for a community, such as collecting assessments and enforcing rules, they do not possess the authority granted to real government bodies.
Fines. Homeowner's associations in Indiana have the authority to penalize property owners for violations and unpaid dues.

Yes, you can sue an HOA in Indiana if you believe that the association has acted unlawfully, breached its fiduciary duty, or violated the terms of the governing documents. However, it is important to explore alternative dispute resolution methods and consult with an experienced attorney before taking legal action.
