Answer these questions to the best of your ability:

1. What is a deed restriction?

( I believe it is something that says what you can and cannot do with your property, and you agree to when you purchase your property ) true or false.

2. Can a resident or the HOA inforce the deed restrictions in your contract?

( If you read the HOA website posted previously, you will see that actually a resident can sue his neighbor for not abiding by the deed restrictions, and also get back his cost for lawyer fees if he is right )

WOW this would be cool.

3. Why do such a few in BBF control the lack of enforcement of deed restrictions?
( I think it relates to the same reason we have to take our shoes off at the airport.) Think about it?

4. When you buy something do you read the contract, and all the conditions that relate to your purchase?

( I did, and It pretty much said what I could and could not do when I bought this home. Mailbox, trees, landscaping, deck etc...etc... )

People: It is pretty simple. Just comply. Get your changes approved. Maintain your property. Abide by what your neighbors abide by. Hey, We will all be happy.

How Simple can it be?

101

Sounds simple enough to me. Unfortunately, some people have this mindset, that ''it's my House, I can do what I want'' NOT ! BTW, most people here are under the false impression that the HOA can't do anything to them, well think again my friend. There ARE clauses in the deed agreement that allows them to come after you for violations, so don't take them for granted.

Enforcement

The people that control the enforcement (or lack of it) are our trustees. If you want a violation fixed, talk to them!

Right

You're right, the HOA already has the authority to do something. That's why we don't need a fine system. Has the current system even been used to get an infraction corrected?
