Can an HOA impose restrictions on my property without my consent? -Perez Mayoral

I often advise my clients that Homeowners Associations (HOAs) can impose restrictions on their property even without their explicit consent. These restrictions are outlined in covenants that run with the land, which were established before you even purchased your home. These covenants are publicly recorded and set rules regarding modifications to your property, maintenance obligations, and areas you can or cannot alter. By purchasing a property within the HOA, you are deemed to have constructive notice of these covenants, meaning you were made aware of them through the Declaration, and by buying the property, you effectively consented to them—this acts as a form of contractual agreement, even though you didn’t sign anything specific. Please give us a call if you have any questions.
