HOA says I can’t park my work truck in my driveway
Location: Florida, US
I’ll try to keep this short and simple. I live in Florida (US) and I recently got a promotion at work that came with a pickup truck as a perk. It is a 2020 Chevrolet Colorado and it is wrapped with company logos. I park it in my driveway as it wouldn’t fit well in my garage. On 4/14, I received a letter stating to remove the “commercial vehicle” from site. I use the service LegalShield so I opened up a case right away to see if I can get some help. In 2024, the governor passed a law stating HOAs can no longer ban homeowners from parking their work trucks in their driveway. I had the LegalShield law firm draft a letter to the HOAs management company stating the new law. Today I received a response basically stating the law does not retroactively apply to the governing by laws to the community and I have 10 days to either park the truck in the garage or they may sue. I don’t have a lot of money to hire an attorney and I need advice. I don’t want to have to park my work truck far from my house and I don’t want to back down when I feel I am in the right in this situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
