Also, the board changes. Our present board has been pretty good. Except for the last month or so where they tried to pass a "tax" on new homeowners to fund improvements/maintenance 25-30 years from now (2045-2050!). I admire them for trying get ahead of it, but it would be better if we just raised the HOA fee 1% over inflation for a few years and spread the cost around. (Need to raise an inflation adjusted $7M for road repairs).

I've received a few letters over the years. Most were mistaken address issues. But the one or two items were real things that needed attention (green mold on a fence, clean and repaint). As far as dealing with the architectual commitee, it is done to keep the appearence up. I have only seen one issue of enforment where the homeowner completely deviated from the plan.

The funniest thing are the couple of homes that are consistently in violation, are always owned by lawyers.
