Homeowners association fee
We bought a house in this subdivision that was going up. We were verbally told by the seller that a home owenrs association would be in place once all the homes were built and that the first year association fee would be mandatory but after that it was optional to be part or not of this association, that it was up to us to keep membership and pay the yearly fee. After that year we were told we are obligated to pay this fee and that association was not an option many of my neighbors had been told the same lie when buying. Now many homeowners feel that the money we pay is not doing much for us and we would like to stop having this fee coming out of our pockets . HELP what can we do about this, Can we vote against this and have this association gone of our wallets? Can an association be stop and have a subdivision free of association obligations and regulations? I seen other ones that are subdivisions but there is no association there.please advice what and how to do this?
