49. My HOA won’t let me fly my flag – can they do that??

As far as the United States flag – HOAs CANNOT PROHIBIT FLYING THE US FLAG. Federal Law trumps your governing documents.

For your reference: Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005 . Public Law 109-243, 109th Congress

TIP: your HOA may have guidelines that are specific to flag & pole sizes & location.

For the last 5 years I get demand letters for money from the so called HOA but no name or signature. Now I get a letter that states “we will put a lien on your property if you don’t pay”. Why should this HOA have any right to demand anything if it was dissolved? 50. When a homeowner in our HOA has not paid their assessment we considered them NOT in good standing – can they still vote at the Annual Meeting? →

(There are several referenced MD laws & regulations in this free training – WVOHOA looks into what WV has in comparison, sadly not much at all. WV has no oversight – continuing education is left to the individual HOA Boards of Directors.)
