Busted by code enforcement

-
I have a HOA here in Milford,De and they say "absolutely NO unregristered cars and junk vehicles in our community" Got that letter last week. I now have my second non-tagged car at my house. I don't care what they say. I will do what I want, at my home.
I can't wait to sell my house and move. In the mean time, I hope the HOA stops by for a visit. I have words for them for other people in violation of other offenses on this street.

I've never known it to happen this way. Most of the time people will fall in love with the house, the neighborhood, schools,area. The last thing they think of is the restrictions that come with living there, AKA Hoa, deed restrictions, etc. When they move in they get slapped in the face with these restrictions.
"What do you mean I have to get the colors approved that I want to paint MY home", or "Your saying that what ever curtains I put INSIDE MY home have to have white backing as seen from the outside", "What do you mean I can only have one car for every licensed driver in my home" . and on and on.

Better read you HOA again. Most have the right to buy your home for you not complying and believe me they don't have to pay what you think it is worth. Happened to a friend of mine(long story).

A lot of places 'crack down' on unlicensed and inoperable vehicles. There should be a city code that has been written that states specifically what their regulations are.

Last year local law enforcement attempted to cite me. Even though the vehicles that I had here were kept clean and in good repair I didn't have the plates on all of them. (I had removed the license plates from two of them that I had taken to the car shows.) The cars were located on the extra lot I own behind my house. My '72 Duster and the funnycar are both race cars so I did not have those tagged.

I asked for a copy of the city statute. They brought me a copy of it later that day.

As it turns out there was a provision here for race vehicles that was written in it that exempted them from the statute. And as long as I put the plates back on the other cars I would be OK.

The stated fines here were pretty steep. They could fine us $100 per vehicle per day that the cars remained. But it is important to read the statute. In some cases you are only in violation if the vehicle has NOT moved for over 60 days. Some guys get around that of course by moving their cars every so often.

Some municipalities will impound your vehicles too.

All of these things are contributing factors as to why I'm fixing up our old farm yard. - Can't wait to get moved back out there! There are a lot less restrictions out there than in town. Currently I store any unlicensed vehicles I have at my farm.

Put a high fence up around them.
 
Many deed restrictions expire. Look to see if yours has. Then they try to form a corporation to run the subdivision but that is when you need to get out and campaign to stop them. Usually they have pissed enough people off in the subdivision to prevent that. Watch out for selective enforcement. If they don't go after everyone then the judge looks poorly at that. Might make sense to have a lawyer involved.
