Homeowner Association Fines
I live in a deed restricted community in which the developer controls the HOA. There are homeowners in my neighborhood who continually violate deed restrictions, thereby lowering others property values. The HOA attorney stated that they can only access a $1000 fine against a homeowner. Once that amount is levied, they can no longer fine the homeowner for that particular violation. What other recourse do we as homeowners who do follow the rules have? Our property values are being affected.

Until the control is turned over to the owners, your power is limited to some extent. Even though the developer controls the board currently, meetings should be scheduled on a regular basis and be open to the membership. You should get your neighbors to join with you in attending and voicing your concerns. The developer can change the rules and regulations or find other ways to better enforce the restrictions if necessary.
