Question:
Our HOA attached UPS/FedEx signs on every end unit at our Soaring Eagle Townhomes here in Colorado Springs. We were not notified that this was going to take place nor did we give consent to drill holes on our garage and put up a sign without asking us. Also, Also, homeowners were not given the right to vote for these signs that cost us $400.00. Can I remove the sign and demand that they repair our garage?
Thank You

Answer:
Hi Celeste,
A homeowners association has a broad range of authority outlined within the bylaws and CC&Rs. It is worth checking these documents to see if your HOA has a right to make any changes to your home without permission.
Additionally, an HOA usually does not require approval from its membership for smaller expenditures. However, bylaws and CC&Rs may include provisions that limit the board’s spending power and require a majority vote from homeowners for capital improvements. Sometimes, approval is required if the expenditure goes beyond a particular dollar amount, though it will depend on the language in your governing documents.
