In Ohio is a Property Owners Association allowed to revote gate access for overdue annual fees the result restricting owners to access their properties?

Answer:

Hi John,

While Ohio law does not shed light on this, it is generally not recommended that HOAs restrict homeowners’ ingress and egress from their homes as a punishment. If you wish to suspend the delinquent owner’s privileges, consider revoking their access to amenities or services (provided the governing documents permit this). There is also the option of placing a lien on the property and initiating foreclosure proceedings.
