I told my wife I don’t care how perfect the house is, I REFUSE to live in an HOA. I simply cannot abide paying someone to tell me what I can and cannot do on my property.
I want you to know, I rented in an hoa and bought in a non hoa. This legitimately is the best stipulation you can have. We got a violation for using the wrong dumpsters, I was accused of not breaking down boxes(I did and always do) and one day after getting a small trash can, we got a violation for having a trash can on our patio. In our new neighborhood, part of why we picked it was a lady had some junk art on her lawn. Best indicator of if a neighborhood will be annoying I've ever come across.
Wish it were that easy. With prices and rates I probably never going to own a home and HOAs run this city. The HOA covering this rental isn't even from this County.
Yep. I’ve lived in suburbia for many years, no HOA and that was good with me. My in-laws lived in an HOA gated communist community. Lol. They had the craziest rules. Like having to have 13 plants exactly in the front yard. Not 12 or 14 and they had to be approved by the association. We also got yelled at for riding our bikes on the wrong side of the road. First of all, it was a road that was 2 houses long. And the guy threatened to send us a violation ticket. I laughed at him. 😂 We we’re staying at the in-laws house after they passed away and we needed to do some cleaning and painting before we sold it. Had the garage door open for more than 5 seconds and a neighbor informed us that we could get ticketed for that too. 🤬
I think it's rule #1 in the HOA handbook that they only hire Karen's and Ken's lol.. That goes for every part of the US. 🤣. Sorry to all the nice Karen's and Ken's..
I will take the HOA, I’ve lived in the rural Midwest.. living next to yards full of broken down cars isn’t for me. I do wonder about the people with the sign “ clean up your dog poop,” if they don’t clean up the poop already, what is the sign going to do? Honestly it makes me want to leave my dog’s poo!
There's a reason they exist, because the theory behind them is great! Some people do actually like them! If you don't, well then don't buy a house with one...
If we had known how corrupt they were, we would not be here! Truly… the things they have done are criminal… but daughter says to take them to court (which residents have considered doing) would seriously bring down property values. Let’s just say… the problems with the HOA are similar to what’s going on politically in our country… and, also like our country… money isn’t where it should be… and… where the money IS no one is sure….
It’s just important that the HOA represents the actual wants of the neighborhood. I know HOA’s that charge less than $100 a year just to keep the snowmobile tracks prepared through the woods and prevent people from having five rusting vehicles on their lawn but they could care less if you had an RV or a boat on your lawn. I also know people who have been sued by their HOA in more particular cookie-cutter areas that people wanted to move into, because the remodeling on their house wasn’t done on time even though it wasn’t their fault. 🙄 I would never move into a cookie-cutter neighborhood like that, but that’s what the people in that community want and that’s what they get. There’s a reason why everyone has perfectly manicured lawns and not a single toy left laying out in a front yard. HOA’s are literally local governmental Authority (I didn’t say the government) as low as you can get it. Just make sure if you know what The neighborhood expectations are before you move in to see if it’s even a good fit for you. Again, I would never live in the local cookie-cutter neighborhoods where the HOA is uptight because the people are uptight.
@@hoseklamp Most that I’ve heard about and personal experience go way over what they are supposed to do. If I want to live in communist China I’d move there ! I’ll take a hard pass at HOA neighborhoods all the time !
😂this cracks me up further ...currently living off-grid against all Cc and Rs in a mostly failed development ..We have a Poa we pay dues but off gridders get no service since we are in the grey are...rules are broken buy all here and the county is lacking also ....still have these kinds of folks though....thanks for the laugh!
My problem with the HOA's is that they literally never have good ideas that help everyone. Oh, we have a trash problem? Instead of getting more dumpsters to fix it, we'll install cameras to hand out more fines.
Haha this happened to us in our apartment complex, I looked at the guy and said “I will pay for twice a week trash pickup instead of one. Also take away the 12ft high dumpsters because no one is going to be able to throw their trash in there, why they leave it outside it.” But typically it was because the bins were too full!
I have a friend who lives in the subdivision behind me. He's had a fight with the HOA about more roll around trash containers but they say one is enough. I told him that when he needs to put his trash in my big roll off dumpster I've always got room. I can always tell when he threw a party or it's spring cleaning because of the extra trash
We've lived in both, also in CO. In the non-HOA neighborhood we paid for trash, recycling, rec center and pool access separately, and every other house was run down and overgrown. All these things added up to almost the cost of the quarterly HOA in our current house, plus they host all kinds of cool events for kids, plus the aesthetic of the neighborhood is much nicer. IMHO and from personal experience, HOA all the way.
@michaelmcdonald1620 That's fair! We live in a small, poorer agricultural town and we don't have any HOAs. I've only heard the horror stories I've seen on the news and from RUclips comments. I'm sure they're not all run by tyrants and I'm glad you found a more affordable way to live with your HOA!
I constantly chase HOA people off my property. They constantly complain about my yard filled with heavy equipment. As I tell them I was here first and your neighborhood was built around me. Plus I'm not a part of your HOA so you can't tell me anything. I try to be polite and not run my heavy equipment late at night but I leave for the job site sometimes early as 4:30AM . They really hate me
That is the problem with alot of communities popping up all over the place. They start out as non HOA then boom, they become one. I'd be the same way too.
HOAs are a blight on America. I say this as an attorney who has litigated against HOAs, sued them, and even helped clients take over boards. They are the worst thing ever. Living in a building in an HOA would literally be the last thing I would do for housing.
HOA’s really need to support Gardens, chickens, and play sets. Flowering strawberry plants, children laughing on swings, and Plymouth rock chickens are far more beautiful and uplifting than a beige house, next to a beige house, next to a beige house. You have to be a really sorry individual to say neighborhoods can’t have that. I get that if you live in a nicer neighborhood their may be rules, and some of those rules seem a little ridiculous but they do make things look nicer such as tractor runs for the chicken, Play sets that match the look at the house, and Gardens that use wooden raised beds rather than miss-matched 5 gallon food grade buckets 🪣 although even buckets can be spray-painted to be unified and cute so the HOA doesn’t show up.
I'm not part of an HOA but had a subdivision with one built around me. They constantly are complaining about my heavy equipment, my dogs, and my family. I have signs up along my fence telling them how I feel about their policies. I was here first so get off my lawn
We literally looked for a house outside the city so we can keep our 12 chickens one being a tiny rooster. City limits you to 4 chickens. So definitely NO hoas for us EVER!
As a firefighter who recently had an hoa put too many speed bumps in a neighborhood we go to often. In turn every call after 10pm gets the full treatment of siren, Q, and excessive horn blowing. Other neighborhoods that didn't build excessive speed bumps only get lights after 10pm and no noise 😬
Kind of odd to disturb the residents because some HOA people decided they wanted speed bumps, the irony is that I'm sure most of the residents don't want them there either.
Our first home had an HOA. My husband even served on it to try and stop the crazy monthly cost hikes and the overzealous president. After a few years, we moved and made a blood oath (kidding- sort of) to never again buy where there was an HOA. We've been successful so far.
I will never buy a house with an HOA. They all start with the best of intentions, but then the wrong person gets on the HOA board and then it goes downhill.
This one was one of your bests!!! You nailed it. Living in an HOA neighborhood feels like a literal infringement on our homeowner rights. "It keeps the neighborhood looking nice" 🙄 puh-lease
My dad was on the HOA. The drama on that board was worse than high school. My dad joined to help, but the stress was too much. I'm so glad he left that neighborhood. 😂
I’ll never live in an HOA ever again. I had to put up a fence for my dogs and couldn’t wait for the two week decision for them to grant me a fence when everyone else on the block had the same fence lol. Of course they came knocking. I just said F off and paid the fine.
Our neighbor literally told us today that we will get fined if we don’t wheel in our trashcan the minute the trash gets picked up. Excuse me ma’am. My husband and I work full time. Also, we only rent this place. If someone with no life wants to fine me because I don’t schedule my job around trash pickup, I’ll have a word with them myself, thank you very much.
U ending up at ur own house made this video!! All the stuff is soooo true! I don't live in one, and will never live in one but I worked for a town and we heard all kinds of crazy stories! my fav is a violation for wind chimes!! yes, wind chimes. LOL
That depends where you are. In my area of Florida, if your home isn't in some kind of HOA, there's a good chance you live either way out in the sticks or down the road the other way in the hood. Not only are those homes not worth more but the country homes often require more insurance- which is astronomical in Florida, ours has tripled over the last 2-3 years- and the other homes still aren't cheap to buy but are often very old and need a lot of work. Plus, if you have kids, you have to deal with the school districts. There are easy ways to spot the lax HOAs and those are the homes you want if you want to live in specific areas.
@@mommy2libras I also live in FL I cannot argue that insurance. In the central Florida area there are many places that are very nice without an HOA. You just have to know where to look. They are usually older neighborhoods but many are nice.
First house I purchased was in an HOA had no idea what that meant. Couldn’t sell that house and move fast enough once I figured out how awful they were. Definitely not a place I wanted to raise my children in. No offense to anyone who is part of an HOA just wasn’t for me and my lifestyle.
man all these negative comments about hostile HOAs, mine must be pretty chill bc I never heard from them and they always put on cool events for the kids
@@michaelmcdonald1620 my old HOA was nothing like that. It was very kid unfriendly. Got a few fines for the kids leaving toys in the front yard over night on occasion. I got a fine for my kids trampoline jumping higher than the backyard fence. When they took a picture of my kids in the backyard that was the final straw for me. Listed the house within a week. There was good though. Having neighbors with clean yards did maintain a good resell value.
I actually like HOAs! Hear me out. They are a double edge sword and sometimes are way too strict or over the top for sure! But on the other hand some are pretty basic and are just asking that you be a good neighbor and keep property values up by keeping the neighborhood nice. It always crackes me up when people complain and fight the HOA when they broke the rules that THEY SIGNED when they bought the house! It legally has to be disclosed! So stop acting crazy when you break rules you agreeded to and signed! Thats no different than signing a car loan then complaining when you are told you have to pay it back haha.
My neighborhood has a private facebook group so people can freely complain about the HOA and how we have no idea where our money is going, lol. Something tells me Taylor has had a recent visit from his HOA.
@@JohnShalamskas Can't right now. The HOA is controlled by the builder. It hasn't been turned over to the neighborhood yet because the area is still being developed. So we are at the mercy of whatever the management company wants to do. We can voice our opinions but they don't hold meetings or respond to emails.
Major reason why we moved. What you missed was the uneven enforcement. One weed in yard enforced, yard with weeds four feet tall, left alone. Good luck to anyone moving to Arizona.....
My grandparents get in trouble for not mowing the lawn every other day. Even in the middle of winter when they don’t get snow. HOA is horrible. #DownwiththeHOA
@@thenightporter We were at my grandparents house during Christmas and my grandpa was sick and he asked my brother to mow the lawn and I looked at him like he grew two head because it’s winter and freezing and he said if he doesn’t he’ll get in trouble with the HOA. So my brother mowed the lawn
My family lives in a condominium, with a terrible HOA. My Dad calls them blood sucking vampires. We pay crazy money to live here,but the rules are not inforced. People park wherever they want, but does the HOA care? Nooo!!!! All they do during their meeting is drink expensive wine and eat expensive cheese!!!
This video really infuriates me, not from it's awesome production, but from how real it replicates the real life stupidity, absurdity and power tripping nonsense HOA's inflict on innocent homeowners
Am I really the only one that actually enjoys having houses in an HOA!? They mow the grass, plow the snow, trim the trees, and clean up the common spaces. I'd much rather pay the HOA $200 than hire out all that stuff individually. I suspect some of these commenters haven't been homeowners all that long lol.
House shopping is miserable these days... finally find a house in your price range, right location, but look and it has a 500 a month HOA fee. No thanks!
Taylor’s way of showing off his new golf cart! 😂 Great video! I’m thankful we live in a neighborhood with a super chill HOA. There are some around here that are just as bad as this video!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Haha!!!!😂😂😂 Now lets hope Taylors HOA didnt go that far and wont after aeeing this video🤔😂😂😂! He just gave all HOAs across america ideas🤔🧐🤯🤫
😂😂 poor chickens! This is exactly why HOA's never survive in my part of Canada. We are far too stubborn and free thinking to conform to silly rules about our houses and yards. Houses here are every colour of the rainbow, we have chickens, bee hives, bat houses, and if we want to use an old toilet as a planter in our front yard, we gonna do it! One of my former neighbour's had a pink Unicorn and winged pig sculptures in their front yard 😂😂
My HOA called the police on me for parking a trailer in the grass... no warnings... The officer simply showed up, said it was between us and the HOA and went on his way lol
I live in a village in Michigan run like an HOA on MAGA. The party of "smaller govt', less intrusion in your private life and lower taxes, ain't'. And, though it's a village that exists only because of surrounding farms and orchards, we're not allowed chickens or any 'farm animals' at all - unless you have ten acres(!) and only one property does, and the owner was the Village President when they passed that law. And don't even dare to think about asking to see the Village budget! because there's no surer way for the Code Enforcement officer to pay you a visit.
2004 No welcome committee. History, homes built in my neighborhood, the lots average 1 acre up to 2.5 acres, used to be farmland. I moved into my neighborhood and had my first experience with the HOA President. I put in a simple wood line fence in my front yard to separate my yard from my neighbors. Why? To give the darn yard some character. Yes, had the fence professionally installed. I was in my backyard, so much for my privacy fence. Someone was at my fence trying to get in… Instant scolding, from the HOA President. I had to take down my wood line fence immediately. All I did was walk the neighborhood until I found the first home that had the same identical fence on each side of their driveway. I repaid the favor. I waited till that evening and knocked on the door of the HOA President. When XYZ takes down their fence, I will take down mine. Needless to say, my fence is standing with maintenance of course. Bonus Points: With in a year, wood line fences were built in several of my neighbors front yards too. Folks, you have to stay calm when dealing with the HOA. Over zealous hypocrites. 😂

HOA’s largest selling point is they keep the value of your house from dropping. Yet at the same time every house not in an HOA is worth more!
That depends where you are. In my area of Florida, if your home isn't in some kind of HOA, there's a good chance you live either way out in the sticks or down the road the other way in the hood. Not only are those homes not worth more but the country homes often require more insurance- which is astronomical in Florida, ours has tripled over the last 2-3 years- and the other homes still aren't cheap to buy but are often very old and need a lot of work. Plus, if you have kids, you have to deal with the school districts. There are easy ways to spot the lax HOAs and those are the homes you want if you want to live in specific areas.
@@mommy2libras I also live in FL I cannot argue that insurance. In the central Florida area there are many places that are very nice without an HOA. You just have to know where to look. They are usually older neighborhoods but many are nice.
First house I purchased was in an HOA had no idea what that meant. Couldn’t sell that house and move fast enough once I figured out how awful they were. Definitely not a place I wanted to raise my children in. No offense to anyone who is part of an HOA just wasn’t for me and my lifestyle.
man all these negative comments about hostile HOAs, mine must be pretty chill bc I never heard from them and they always put on cool events for the kids
@@michaelmcdonald1620 my old HOA was nothing like that. It was very kid unfriendly. Got a few fines for the kids leaving toys in the front yard over night on occasion. I got a fine for my kids trampoline jumping higher than the backyard fence. When they took a picture of my kids in the backyard that was the final straw for me. Listed the house within a week. There was good though. Having neighbors with clean yards did maintain a good resell value.
If you don’t want to offend an HOA, allow me… YA’LL $U(K!!!!!
You're too nice. Screw those Karens.
This is exactly why I will never live in an HOA neighborhood! It’s just another money grab from our pockets
The way he was driving that golf cart I was so sure he was going to flip that thing LMFAOO!! 🤣🤣🤣💀💯
I need a part 2. Don't leave us hanging. Please tell us the HOA didn't make you tear down your roller coaster or tree houses.
I actually like HOAs! Hear me out. They are a double edge sword and sometimes are way too strict or over the top for sure! But on the other hand some are pretty basic and are just asking that you be a good neighbor and keep property values up by keeping the neighborhood nice. It always crackes me up when people complain and fight the HOA when they broke the rules that THEY SIGNED when they bought the house! It legally has to be disclosed! So stop acting crazy when you break rules you agreeded to and signed! Thats no different than signing a car loan then complaining when you are told you have to pay it back haha.
I feel this may be a bit personal for you, Dude Dad.
maaaaybe....
This is a mix of legitimate complaints and total nonsense 😂 I love the dedication of flipping over the fence
None of these are legitimate complaints lol
Taylor, you are the funniest person in the world. You always make my day!😂🤣😂🤣💕💕
My neighborhood has a private facebook group so people can freely complain about the HOA and how we have no idea where our money is going, lol. Something tells me Taylor has had a recent visit from his HOA.
You should attend a few HOA meetings or get on the board of directors.
@@JohnShalamskas Can't right now. The HOA is controlled by the builder. It hasn't been turned over to the neighborhood yet because the area is still being developed. So we are at the mercy of whatever the management company wants to do. We can voice our opinions but they don't hold meetings or respond to emails.
This is hilarious, I loved the part with the chickens!😂
Why is this so true 😂😂😂😂😂
“I KNEW IT.
They’got *PECKERS.”*
😂🤣
I have nothing nice to say about are HOA. Lol 😂This made me laugh because it’s spot on.
Major reason why we moved. What you missed was the uneven enforcement. One weed in yard enforced, yard with weeds four feet tall, left alone. Good luck to anyone moving to Arizona.....
Uh oh....been thinking about Prescott.
You just described my rec property. I'm selling. 😅
Freeeedom!
@@DudeDad 😁
My grandparents get in trouble for not mowing the lawn every other day. Even in the middle of winter when they don’t get snow. HOA is horrible. #DownwiththeHOA
that's wild!
WHAT?!!!!!!
@@thenightporter We were at my grandparents house during Christmas and my grandpa was sick and he asked my brother to mow the lawn and I looked at him like he grew two head because it’s winter and freezing and he said if he doesn’t he’ll get in trouble with the HOA. So my brother mowed the lawn
@@shawnelleharold2606how can you mow something that isn't growing?
0:44 It's technically illegal for anyone but a USPS workers to deliver mail to your mailbox.
VIOLATION!😂
You got to admit. The roller coaster in the back yard is ingenious.
Love the reaction of the chicken
My family lives in a condominium, with a terrible HOA. My Dad calls them blood sucking vampires. We pay crazy money to live here,but the rules are not inforced. People park wherever they want, but does the HOA care? Nooo!!!! All they do during their meeting is drink expensive wine and eat expensive cheese!!!
Our HoA is exactly that power-hungry!
A lot of them are. Many families sell their homes to escape HOAs and their autocratic, corrupt presidents.
This video really infuriates me, not from it's awesome production, but from how real it replicates the real life stupidity, absurdity and power tripping nonsense HOA's inflict on innocent homeowners
Dude for real my HOA can S#*] it!!
are you sure?! They might fine you for that...
@@DudeDad 😂 that is true
Am I really the only one that actually enjoys having houses in an HOA!? They mow the grass, plow the snow, trim the trees, and clean up the common spaces. I'd much rather pay the HOA $200 than hire out all that stuff individually. I suspect some of these commenters haven't been homeowners all that long lol.
It would be hilarious if his fine from the HOA was filming in the neighborhood.
So he filmed in the neighborhood making fun of the HOA.
🤣🤣🤣
Love thy neighbor as thyself. The Bible don't say anything about loving the president of your neighborhood HOA!!! ;) ;) ;)
I need to adopt that walk and click my pen louder! Thanks for the HOA PRESIDENT tips😉👍
This is hilarious and sounds like a recent encounter!? Am I wrong?!😂😂😂 love the vids keep it up
the "have a great day, just kidding I don't care" was by far the most accurate
House shopping is miserable these days... finally find a house in your price range, right location, but look and it has a 500 a month HOA fee. No thanks!
Taylor’s way of showing off his new golf cart! 😂
Great video! I’m thankful we live in a neighborhood with a super chill HOA. There are some around here that are just as bad as this video!
That's why everyone should identify as squatters. All the rights of home ownership; none of the responsibilities.
Just a heads up to any potential home buyers. If you go looking and find there is an HOA where you want to buy, that’s a hard NOPE.
What a horrible arrangement, HOAs! But it sure makes for some good comedy.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Haha!!!!😂😂😂 Now lets hope Taylors HOA didnt go that far and wont after aeeing this video🤔😂😂😂! He just gave all HOAs across america ideas🤔🧐🤯🤫
😂😂 poor chickens! This is exactly why HOA's never survive in my part of Canada. We are far too stubborn and free thinking to conform to silly rules about our houses and yards. Houses here are every colour of the rainbow, we have chickens, bee hives, bat houses, and if we want to use an old toilet as a planter in our front yard, we gonna do it! One of my former neighbour's had a pink Unicorn and winged pig sculptures in their front yard 😂😂
My nickname at work is HOA. This vid untriggers me.
😂 The only HOA I participate in is the Homesteaders of America! 🐣🦖🌻
I don’t understand HOAs like, I get their purpose but why be able to control someone’s life/house
I would never buy a house that has an HOA!!
My HOA called the police on me for parking a trailer in the grass... no warnings... The officer simply showed up, said it was between us and the HOA and went on his way lol
0:27 sounds just like Ted Lasso in the NBC commercial - 'pickup the ball with your hands - that is a VIOLATION!'
It’s a NO for me on the bench in the park as well! Absolutely not! Lol this video was too much fun to watch 🤣
I live in a village in Michigan run like an HOA on MAGA. The party of "smaller govt', less intrusion in your private life and lower taxes, ain't'. And, though it's a village that exists only because of surrounding farms and orchards, we're not allowed chickens or any 'farm animals' at all - unless you have ten acres(!) and only one property does, and the owner was the Village President when they passed that law. And don't even dare to think about asking to see the Village budget! because there's no surer way for the Code Enforcement officer to pay you a visit.
2004 No welcome committee. History, homes built in my neighborhood, the lots average 1 acre up to 2.5 acres, used to be farmland. I moved into my neighborhood and had my first experience with the HOA President. I put in a simple wood line fence in my front yard to separate my yard from my neighbors. Why? To give the darn yard some character. Yes, had the fence professionally installed. I was in my backyard, so much for my privacy fence. Someone was at my fence trying to get in… Instant scolding, from the HOA President. I had to take down my wood line fence immediately. All I did was walk the neighborhood until I found the first home that had the same identical fence on each side of their driveway. I repaid the favor. I waited till that evening and knocked on the door of the HOA President. When XYZ takes down their fence, I will take down mine. Needless to say, my fence is standing with maintenance of course. Bonus Points: With in a year, wood line fences were built in several of my neighbors front yards too. Folks, you have to stay calm when dealing with the HOA. Over zealous hypocrites. 😂
HOA should be illegal everywhere!
My HOA likes to play favorites. 3 houses with boats in driveway, only 1 gets a violation. Hate HOAs, cant wait to not live in one
