A quick search shows that Iowa does not have such a law. Check your declaration to verify if your POA has the authority to ban drought-resistant plants. If it’s not on there, you can contest the decision.

Where do you live? Some states have laws that protect your right to use drought-resistant landscaping. California is one, if I recall correctly. So if you live there, you might be able to fight your POA on this.

I think it’s a great idea. It definitely helped our HOA make up for some of the delinquencies (though we’re still actively pursuing those).

I have not checked our bylaws since I am out of town right now but I will make sure to do so once I get back! I have emailed our management company to send me a copy but they have not replied yet. Thanks for everyone’s support!

Running for president certainly sounds tempting but I frequently travel for work so I don’t think that’s a good idea ha!

I live in Wyoming and as far as I know there are no state laws that apply to this situation (I checked).

Have you also done this before? If it will help my case then I’m certainly open to it. Will the state really do something about it?

The CC&Rs were originally written in the 1980s so they are a little old but certainly not old enough to be “outdated” don’t you think?
