Busted by code enforcement

It has to be registered by April 29th or its a fine. Oh yeah that's 4 days before I get married. Also if they want they can fine you 50 a day after the date it has to be registered

Welcome to living in such an environment.

I personally would never live in an HOA. Many townships also have blight ordinances that prohibit you from having unregistered vehicles.. Most of the time they won't bother you until someone complains.

You could insure and register it, but it might not do any good because of the HOA.
