Fees for Excess Vehicles

Hi Heather,

Typically, HOAs are allowed to restrict the number of cars homeowners park, but not the number of cars they own. Hence, the HOA may only impose violation fees for excess vehicles parked within the community. However, the governing documents must include the rule and they may need to outline the HOA’s authority to impose fees. Kindly review them to verify the association’s authority to enact such a rule and impose fees. It may also be wise to consult a lawyer for further guidance.
