Bel-Air HOA Issues Fine To Resident With Unapproved Wildfire In Front Yard

HOAs are kindergartens for petty dictators:

Quote:

BEL-AIR, CA—Saying the ornamentation was not in compliance with neighborhood guidelines, the Bel-Air Homeowners Association issued a fine Thursday to a resident with an unapproved wildfire in his front yard. “After receiving complaints from neighbors on both sides of the residence, we were left with no choice but to fine Mr. [Michael] Walters for the flames raging in his front lawn,” said association president Linda Heggen, adding that each day the massive blaze was not extinguished would result in additional penalties. “Upon taking possession of their homes, property owners agree to adhere to the strict no-inferno policy. This is an exclusive community, and we can’t allow that to be compromised by someone deciding to keep an obtrusive hundred-foot wall of fire in front of his house.” At press time, however, the homeowners association lifted an existing fine against the resident for overgrown hedges as the wildfire had incinerated them.

Leave it to Californians to take it to new levels :rolleyes:

Be cautious in Colorado as the HOA laws were written to protect out of state investors ( ski towns). Often a few initial investors use fees and confiscated homes and units as their personal income and houses and condos are taken easily based on the smallest infractions.

If as in Washington (State) the homeowner will soon face penalties and fines from the city for clear cutting trees and vegetation to improve his view. :D

Personally I love trees, I love cutting them down and making useful products out of the wood.
