r/BADHOA

While I’m aware of just googling or chat gpt the answer, has anyone had to deal with their HOA pres doing this. Flying over all our property’s and documenting what’s there? It says it’s illegal to do this but I’m more curious if someone has had to deal with this and what came of it. We are very nervous to vote this guy out as he is a selfish narcissist who is immature and retaliatory. We’ve debated not poking the bear but he keeps pushing issues and we’re all getting fed up. But we also just want to live. We are peaceful people and no one wants a fight. Legal or otherwise. But we are hitting our limit.

The part that is of concern :

Many HOAs reserve funds are historically underfunded and this law requires that they be brought to up to required levels as specified in the law.

The association would generally have to fund reserves to a legally required level each year.

If its regular budget does not cover the required contribution, it would have to impose a reserve-funding special assessment on homeowners.

As you read the title. I'm frustrated with this HOA.

I will request for a reimbursement. If they say they won't pay. What are the next steps to be taken?
