Can an HOA Tow My Vehicle?

Question:

can the homeowners association “ticket” a visitor and threaten to tow them if they are parked in a space not posted “do not park” that is not blocking fire lanes, or others etc? There is a spot next to a tree that I parked, and they stuck a ticket on my car, threatening to tow it, but there is no signage saying do not park here. There is nothing in the bylaws reflecting parking restrictions.

Answer:

Hi Susan,

An HOA generally does not have authority over public streets. If you have parked in a public street where parking is allowed, the HOA cannot give you a ticket. However, an HOA may have authority to enforce parking restrictions on private streets or streets that the HOA owns.
