Is the HOA Responsible for Fences in Louisiana?

Question:

Hurricane IDA knocked a fence down in a guys back yard. The subdivision built the fence before the homeowners moved in. Should the HOA be responsible for fixing the fence?

Answer:

Hi Don,

Your association’s governing documents should dictate which maintenance responsibilities fall on the HOA and which ones fall on the homeowners. Generally, a fence that is located on a homeowner’s property will be the homeowner’s responsibility. Considering the complicated nature of your situation, it would also be best to review the governing documents and consult a lawyer for assistance.
