I told my wife I don’t care how perfect the house is, I REFUSE to live in an HOA. I simply cannot abide paying someone to tell me what I can and cannot do on my property.
I want you to know, I rented in an hoa and bought in a non hoa. This legitimately is the best stipulation you can have. We got a violation for using the wrong dumpsters, I was accused of not breaking down boxes(I did and always do) and one day after getting a small trash can, we got a violation for having a trash can on our patio. In our new neighborhood, part of why we picked it was a lady had some junk art on her lawn. Best indicator of if a neighborhood will be annoying I've ever come across.
Wish it were that easy. With prices and rates I probably never going to own a home and HOAs run this city. The HOA covering this rental isn't even from this County.
😂this cracks me up further ...currently living off-grid against all Cc and Rs in a mostly failed development ..We have a Poa we pay dues but off gridders get no service since we are in the grey are...rules are broken buy all here and the county is lacking also ....still have these kinds of folks though....thanks for the laugh!
My problem with the HOA's is that they literally never have good ideas that help everyone. Oh, we have a trash problem? Instead of getting more dumpsters to fix it, we'll install cameras to hand out more fines.
Haha this happened to us in our apartment complex, I looked at the guy and said “I will pay for twice a week trash pickup instead of one. Also take away the 12ft high dumpsters because no one is going to be able to throw their trash in there, why they leave it outside it.” But typically it was because the bins were too full!
I have a friend who lives in the subdivision behind me. He's had a fight with the HOA about more roll around trash containers but they say one is enough. I told him that when he needs to put his trash in my big roll off dumpster I've always got room. I can always tell when he threw a party or it's spring cleaning because of the extra trash
As a firefighter who recently had an hoa put too many speed bumps in a neighborhood we go to often. In turn every call after 10pm gets the full treatment of siren, Q, and excessive horn blowing. Other neighborhoods that didn't build excessive speed bumps only get lights after 10pm and no noise 😬
Kind of odd to disturb the residents because some HOA people decided they wanted speed bumps, the irony is that I'm sure most of the residents don't want them there either.
I constantly chase HOA people off my property. They constantly complain about my yard filled with heavy equipment. As I tell them I was here first and your neighborhood was built around me. Plus I'm not a part of your HOA so you can't tell me anything. I try to be polite and not run my heavy equipment late at night but I leave for the job site sometimes early as 4:30AM . They really hate me
That is the problem with alot of communities popping up all over the place. They start out as non HOA then boom, they become one. I'd be the same way too.
HOAs are a blight on America. I say this as an attorney who has litigated against HOAs, sued them, and even helped clients take over boards. They are the worst thing ever. Living in a building in an HOA would literally be the last thing I would do for housing.
We've lived in both, also in CO. In the non-HOA neighborhood we paid for trash, recycling, rec center and pool access separately, and every other house was run down and overgrown. All these things added up to almost the cost of the quarterly HOA in our current house, plus they host all kinds of cool events for kids, plus the aesthetic of the neighborhood is much nicer. IMHO and from personal experience, HOA all the way.
@michaelmcdonald1620 That's fair! We live in a small, poorer agricultural town and we don't have any HOAs. I've only heard the horror stories I've seen on the news and from UA-cam comments. I'm sure they're not all run by tyrants and I'm glad you found a more affordable way to live with your HOA!
HOA’s really need to support Gardens, chickens, and play sets. Flowering strawberry plants, children laughing on swings, and Plymouth rock chickens are far more beautiful and uplifting than a beige house, next to a beige house, next to a beige house. You have to be a really sorry individual to say neighborhoods can’t have that. I get that if you live in a nicer neighborhood their may be rules, and some of those rules seem a little ridiculous but they do make things look nicer such as tractor runs for the chicken, Play sets that match the look at the house, and Gardens that use wooden raised beds rather than miss-matched 5 gallon food grade buckets 🪣 although even buckets can be spray-painted to be unified and cute so the HOA doesn’t show up.
I'm not part of an HOA but had a subdivision with one built around me. They constantly are complaining about my heavy equipment, my dogs, and my family. I have signs up along my fence telling them how I feel about their policies. I was here first so get off my lawn
We literally looked for a house outside the city so we can keep our 12 chickens one being a tiny rooster. City limits you to 4 chickens. So definitely NO hoas for us EVER!
Yep. I’ve lived in suburbia for many years, no HOA and that was good with me. My in-laws lived in an HOA gated communist community. Lol. They had the craziest rules. Like having to have 13 plants exactly in the front yard. Not 12 or 14 and they had to be approved by the association. We also got yelled at for riding our bikes on the wrong side of the road. First of all, it was a road that was 2 houses long. And the guy threatened to send us a violation ticket. I laughed at him. 😂 We we’re staying at the in-laws house after they passed away and we needed to do some cleaning and painting before we sold it. Had the garage door open for more than 5 seconds and a neighbor informed us that we could get ticketed for that too. 🤬
I will never buy a house with an HOA. They all start with the best of intentions, but then the wrong person gets on the HOA board and then it goes downhill.
Our first home had an HOA. My husband even served on it to try and stop the crazy monthly cost hikes and the overzealous president. After a few years, we moved and made a blood oath (kidding- sort of) to never again buy where there was an HOA. We've been successful so far.
My dad was on the HOA. The drama on that board was worse than high school. My dad joined to help, but the stress was too much. I'm so glad he left that neighborhood. 😂
I’ll never live in an HOA ever again. I had to put up a fence for my dogs and couldn’t wait for the two week decision for them to grant me a fence when everyone else on the block had the same fence lol. Of course they came knocking. I just said F off and paid the fine.
First house I purchased was in an HOA had no idea what that meant. Couldn’t sell that house and move fast enough once I figured out how awful they were. Definitely not a place I wanted to raise my children in. No offense to anyone who is part of an HOA just wasn’t for me and my lifestyle.
man all these negative comments about hostile HOAs, mine must be pretty chill bc I never heard from them and they always put on cool events for the kids
@@michaelmcdonald1620 my old HOA was nothing like that. It was very kid unfriendly. Got a few fines for the kids leaving toys in the front yard over night on occasion. I got a fine for my kids trampoline jumping higher than the backyard fence. When they took a picture of my kids in the backyard that was the final straw for me. Listed the house within a week. There was good though. Having neighbors with clean yards did maintain a good resell value.
Our neighbor literally told us today that we will get fined if we don’t wheel in our trashcan the minute the trash gets picked up. Excuse me ma’am. My husband and I work full time. Also, we only rent this place. If someone with no life wants to fine me because I don’t schedule my job around trash pickup, I’ll have a word with them myself, thank you very much.
Major reason why we moved. What you missed was the uneven enforcement. One weed in yard enforced, yard with weeds four feet tall, left alone. Good luck to anyone moving to Arizona.....
Taylor’s way of showing off his new golf cart! 😂 Great video! I’m thankful we live in a neighborhood with a super chill HOA. There are some around here that are just as bad as this video!
My neighborhood has a private facebook group so people can freely complain about the HOA and how we have no idea where our money is going, lol. Something tells me Taylor has had a recent visit from his HOA.
@@JohnShalamskas Can't right now. The HOA is controlled by the builder. It hasn't been turned over to the neighborhood yet because the area is still being developed. So we are at the mercy of whatever the management company wants to do. We can voice our opinions but they don't hold meetings or respond to emails.
This video really infuriates me, not from it's awesome production, but from how real it replicates the real life stupidity, absurdity and power tripping nonsense HOA's inflict on innocent homeowners
The reason for the HOA's is that Banks love them! it helps preserve their investment in YOUR home. So most builders design the developments with them so the banks are happy. Since the banks are lending the builders the money to build the houses etc in the first place, THEY vote in a HOA before the houses sell to the public. it is getting harder and harder to find a house with out an HOA no days. You pretty much have to buy ones that are 20-30 years old, or get some bare land and build your self.
🙄🙄I remember even when we lived in AZ. We purposefully bought a house that wasn't in an HOA. It was in a very nice neighborhood and we took good care of our house. This still happens even without HOA. I genuinely think it's just a matter of where you live and what the community is like. The neighbors reported us to the city for EVERY. LITTLE. THING. We were ready to leave 3 months after we moved in. I was so glad when we moved. They tried to get us fined for having a trailer in our driveway to move with 🙄🙄🙄 so many people nowadays care more about the facade of things and making sure the house is painted the right color than they do about relationships and good standing with your neighbors.
Our HOA was like this. We got violation letters for our kids being outside and playing, having potted plants infront of our house and our choice of porch decor. Many of our neighbors had potted plants and decor on their porches and infront of their houses. We went over the HOA by-laws we never were in violation, the HOA just had it out for my family. So glad we were able to sell our house and get out of that neighborhood.
This is LITERALLY my HOA president…no chickens and my husband can’t even park his work truck on the street when he’s picking up tools out the garage without it being a crisis.
Same for us, we will NEVER live in a HOA. When we first started house hunting I saw this wonderful neightborhood, had it's own school and everything. Cost 2k a year to live there. That was my introduction to a HOA.
I worked security for less than a year at an HOA. These people are monsters. We were called for every stupid little thing you could imagine and people would use us to bully each other into fines. It was unbelievable.
Sadly, I recently found what seemed to be an affordable house for the price only to find out it was an HOA. I read their rules and regulations page and saw that they have a Facebook group and the HOA board was calling out specific families on FB for violations. There is a 0 percent chance I’m buying that house or any HOA as long as I’m breathing. For the price of homes, I would never enter a contract where anyone can tell me a single thing what I can do with my property. The government already controls more than enough. I don’t need a board telling me what to do lol
We bought a property in a neighborhood with an optional HOA. We have absolutely no intention of joining, as there’s no benefit to us - only a downside. During our house construction, and now after, we’ve endured an attempted job site shutdown (this lasted a couple of days until the city pulled the plug on the HOA overstep); then repeated reports to the city claiming zoning violations (determined to be unfounded); then calls to the gas company claiming a broken gas line when we had workers placing underground electrical on the side of the property OPPOSITE the obviously marked underground gas line (emergency inspection left the gas company rep scratching hid head in anger); then calls to the postal department claiming our mailbox placement was ‘impeding street side pedestrian egress’ (postal rep, assigned to investigate, assured us the mailbox height and setback met their requirement); and recently, when we scraped off excess tar and asphalt from the nearby manhole cover, following repaving of our street, we were reported to the city streets department ‘vandalism and disfigurement’ of city property (the city street guys were looking for spray paint graffiti or a missing manhole cover). Everything we do is in strict compliance with city zoning and codes. At this point, the city inspectors sigh, say “Not this property again”, and continue to issue ‘Non-Violation’ reports. Our house was built to complement and blend in with the historic nature of the neighborhood, and our surrounding property is beautifully landscaped and well-maintained, using best practices for conservative water uses. We will NOT join the HOA, who will only use their power to bend us to their will.
Living in an HOA is worse than renting. Even more rules and restrictions, less freedom, you still have to pay them every month, you still don’t truly own your home, and you are responsible for any repairs at risk of being fined by the HOA. If you rent, the landlord has to fix the stuff
I legit had an HOA neighbor that drove around in his golf cart taking pictures of everyone’s yards and threatening to give violations in the mail. Everyone hated him and even the elderly neighbors his age couldn’t stand him.
Lol! That being said I appreciate our HOA up here in the mountains. It’s kept a singular neighbor from poisoning the community well water, blocking the road with a mobile home for months, and shooting guns in the direction of other neighbors houses. In the past it stopped a landowner from setting up a homeless tent city.
I actually like HOAs! Hear me out. They are a double edge sword and sometimes are way too strict or over the top for sure! But on the other hand some are pretty basic and are just asking that you be a good neighbor and keep property values up by keeping the neighborhood nice. It always crackes me up when people complain and fight the HOA when they broke the rules that THEY SIGNED when they bought the house! It legally has to be disclosed! So stop acting crazy when you break rules you agreeded to and signed! Thats no different than signing a car loan then complaining when you are told you have to pay it back haha.
I've heard some pretty insane , PETTY stories about living in an HOA community and you just painted THE BEST PICTURE TAYLOR... This was Hilarious and Spot On, Well Done Sir 🤔🙄😲😯😮🤣😅😂
The day we were moving into our house, the HOA president came by to welcome us to the neighborhood. A few days later we received violation letters for a car parked on the street and trash cans left in view. Those "violations" were actually my next door neighbor's. The HOA president at the time was an old retired Navy guy and I would've thought maybe he got addresses confused but after talking to a couple other people, it seems his MO was to send violations to new neighbors just to send a message.
HOAs could be a great resource to maintain a subdivision looking good. The issues: 1. Board members are not qualified. 2. They should not be allowed to cite home owners. 3. They should not be allowed to have the power to place a deed on your home. 4. Subdivisions should be allowed to disband an HOA as long as homeowners agree that is not for them
We just stayed with family and as soon as we drive into their neighborhood and saw the lawns and house colors (old navy khaki aisle) we said, “oh they have an HOA) 😂😂😂. Husbands aunt started talking about their HOA later that night. 😂😂😂
This makes me glad I live in a neighborhood without an HOA (The HOA is literally three houses and around the bend in the street away) and some really cool neighbors. All friendly and most of them have some sort of vintage/special interest vehicle, so no one bats an eye when I am doing oil changes or car repairs in my driveway (rear axle rebuild on a Model A Ford about to start).
Oh god. The moving PODS. This is such a real thing. I worked customer service for PODS for a few years. HOAs do call in and threaten do have them towed. Usually, it was set down that day, and would be for someone moving in or out. Do they not want people to move? They also have issues with moving trucks or UHauls. For one mega HOA down in Florida, the rules were that the container had to have the company logo on it that was no bigger than x amount. That warehouse had special containers to snap these banners on the sides, covering up the bigger logo with a smaller one. HOAs are so dumb.
We live in a neighborhood that has an HOA, but it is optional. The president, came over with a tape measure to measure our grass and left a note stating that our mailbox was leaning too much. With that note was an invitation to join for $160 a year. And, it gets better, 3 years ago we just had a good amount of snow. About 13". The HOA president's kid came with a snowplow to be a "good neighbor " and plow for us. He almost took out our garage door and then pushed all of the snow to the fire hydrant and covered it. The garage man backed into it the next day. My husband jokingly said oh watch we're going to get a bill for this. 4 months later we got a bill with the HOA letter head asking us to send a check for $85 for "helping " us out. My husband sent the letter back with a big F-You across it. We have never had another issue after that.
I told my wife I don’t care how perfect the house is, I REFUSE to live in an HOA. I simply cannot abide paying someone to tell me what I can and cannot do on my property.
I want you to know, I rented in an hoa and bought in a non hoa.
This legitimately is the best stipulation you can have.
We got a violation for using the wrong dumpsters, I was accused of not breaking down boxes(I did and always do) and one day after getting a small trash can, we got a violation for having a trash can on our patio.
In our new neighborhood, part of why we picked it was a lady had some junk art on her lawn.
Best indicator of if a neighborhood will be annoying I've ever come across.
@wfoxoutdoors uh... the government would like a word with you.
The county or city dictates to all.......the ones that permit Hoas just have an extra layer of normal human greed!..never say never you already are😮
amen!!!
Wish it were that easy. With prices and rates I probably never going to own a home and HOAs run this city. The HOA covering this rental isn't even from this County.
HOAs are a prime example of how some people can NOT handle power. This video is perfect!!
You live in my neighborhood too?!
Sounds like Taylor recently received a fine from the HOA 😂 He is like you know what I got something for you. This is hilarious 😂

Legit I tell my agent, “if you show me a house that’s in an HOA, you’re fired. I don’t even want to know those options exist.”
As a firefighter who recently had an hoa put too many speed bumps in a neighborhood we go to often. In turn every call after 10pm gets the full treatment of siren, Q, and excessive horn blowing. Other neighborhoods that didn't build excessive speed bumps only get lights after 10pm and no noise 😬
That’s truly awesome!
This makes me so very happy to hear!

Recall, recall, recall. It works, and in Florida that is the solution. Signed petition on individual forms.
Seems like the product of a recent experience with the HOA.

PSA for house hunters: If it's in an HOA, the house is an automatic no! Hope this helps! 😂
I've learned that lesson.
Just moved last year and that was the first filter! No HOA! My yard, get off Karen 😂
When we bought waaaay back in 1994 we told our agent "No HOA, No pool." Even back then we knew HOA were bad - and expensive.

They tried to get us fined for having a trailer in our driveway to move with 🙄🙄🙄 so many people nowadays care more about the facade of things and making sure the house is painted the right color than they do about relationships and good standing with your neighbors.
"Have a great day, just kiddin, I don't care"
Spot on.
Our HOA was like this. We got violation letters for our kids being outside and playing, having potted plants infront of our house and our choice of porch decor. Many of our neighbors had potted plants and decor on their porches and infront of their houses. We went over the HOA by-laws we never were in violation, the HOA just had it out for my family. So glad we were able to sell our house and get out of that neighborhood.
I will never sign away my autonomy to an HOA
When he saw the roller coaster and sprayed the "inhaler" the wrong way that was hilarious 😂
I’m a board member of the hoa and I motion a vote to approve this video. Thank you.
Dittos here
OH MY GOD HILARIOUS AND SO REAL 😂 GIVE SOME ONE A BINDET AND A TITLE AND ALL THE SUDDEN THEY'RE STALIN

I would love him to tell the Fire Department that they hydrant is too big/wrong color
This is LITERALLY my HOA president…no chickens and my husband can’t even park his work truck on the street when he’s picking up tools out the garage without it being a crisis.
Puts the chicken in the book 😂😂😂
Same for us, we will NEVER live in a HOA. When we first started house hunting I saw this wonderful neightborhood, had it's own school and everything. Cost 2k a year to live there. That was my introduction to a HOA.
Candy with zeal and utter happiness: "Do!you know how many people's days we"re going to ruin" 😂😂😂
I worked security for less than a year at an HOA. These people are monsters. We were called for every stupid little thing you could imagine and people would use us to bully each other into fines. It was unbelievable.
This was just missing a radio tower that the HOA can't do anything about
Sadly, I recently found what seemed to be an affordable house for the price only to find out it was an HOA. I read their rules and regulations page and saw that they have a Facebook group and the HOA board was calling out specific families on FB for violations. There is a 0 percent chance I’m buying that house or any HOA as long as I’m breathing. For the price of homes, I would never enter a contract where anyone can tell me a single thing what I can do with my property. The government already controls more than enough. I don’t need a board telling me what to do lol
HOAs remind me of two books:A Wrinkle in Time, in the world with identical houses and perfect children…and Animal Farm.
I sent this to my HOA. Duckers
Fine fine fine fine . . . So accurate!
Our perfect house list when my wife and I were looking:
-Pool
-Finished basement
-No HOA
Thank you for making me laugh so hard I'm crying. You are absolutely hilarious!!🤣😆🤣😆🥰💜💙💚💛🧡❤❣
We bought a property in a neighborhood with an optional HOA. We have absolutely no intention of joining, as there’s no benefit to us - only a downside. During our house construction, and now after, we’ve endured an attempted job site shutdown (this lasted a couple of days until the city pulled the plug on the HOA overstep); then repeated reports to the city claiming zoning violations (determined to be unfounded); then calls to the gas company claiming a broken gas line when we had workers placing underground electrical on the side of the property OPPOSITE the obviously marked underground gas line (emergency inspection left the gas company rep scratching hid head in anger); then calls to the postal department claiming our mailbox placement was ‘impeding street side pedestrian egress’ (postal rep, assigned to investigate, assured us the mailbox height and setback met their requirement); and recently, when we scraped off excess tar and asphalt from the nearby manhole cover, following repaving of our street, we were reported to the city streets department ‘vandalism and disfigurement’ of city property (the city street guys were looking for spray paint graffiti or a missing manhole cover). Everything we do is in strict compliance with city zoning and codes. At this point, the city inspectors sigh, say “Not this property again”, and continue to issue ‘Non-Violation’ reports. Our house was built to complement and blend in with the historic nature of the neighborhood, and our surrounding property is beautifully landscaped and well-maintained, using best practices for conservative water uses. We will NOT join the HOA, who will only use their power to bend us to their will.
Living in an HOA is worse than renting. Even more rules and restrictions, less freedom, you still have to pay them every month, you still don’t truly own your home, and you are responsible for any repairs at risk of being fined by the HOA. If you rent, the landlord has to fix the stuff
Dude for real my HOA can S#*] it!!
are you sure?! They might fine you for that...
@@DudeDad 😂 that is true
You forgot to add no chickens were harmed at the filming of this video
I legit had an HOA neighbor that drove around in his golf cart taking pictures of everyone’s yards and threatening to give violations in the mail. Everyone hated him and even the elderly neighbors his age couldn’t stand him.
Lol! That being said I appreciate our HOA up here in the mountains. It’s kept a singular neighbor from poisoning the community well water, blocking the road with a mobile home for months, and shooting guns in the direction of other neighbors houses. In the past it stopped a landowner from setting up a homeless tent city.
HOA should be illegal everywhere!
I actually like HOAs! Hear me out. They are a double edge sword and sometimes are way too strict or over the top for sure! But on the other hand some are pretty basic and are just asking that you be a good neighbor and keep property values up by keeping the neighborhood nice. It always crackes me up when people complain and fight the HOA when they broke the rules that THEY SIGNED when they bought the house! It legally has to be disclosed! So stop acting crazy when you break rules you agreeded to and signed! Thats no different than signing a car loan then complaining when you are told you have to pay it back haha.
I've heard some pretty insane , PETTY stories about living in an HOA community and you just painted THE BEST PICTURE TAYLOR... This was Hilarious and Spot On, Well Done Sir 🤔🙄😲😯😮🤣😅😂
Disclaimer: no peckers were harmed in the making of this video. 🐓
as a former occupant of a house in a neighborhood governed by an HOA i can confirm: incredibly accurate.
The dedication 🤣😂😂
I wish my HOA would act like that.
God bless the HOA😂😂🤣 Love the ending killed it!!!
The day we were moving into our house, the HOA president came by to welcome us to the neighborhood. A few days later we received violation letters for a car parked on the street and trash cans left in view. Those "violations" were actually my next door neighbor's.
The HOA president at the time was an old retired Navy guy and I would've thought maybe he got addresses confused but after talking to a couple other people, it seems his MO was to send violations to new neighbors just to send a message.
Eating the chicken at then end. So wrong! Why am I laughing! 😂😂😂 Poor chicken.
😂 you did it again Taylor!!!
It reminded me of the movie Over the Hedge 😂 you are spot on. Keep up the great work!! 💯❤😂😂😂😂
These skits are hilarious
HOAs could be a great resource to maintain a subdivision looking good. The issues: 1. Board members are not qualified. 2. They should not be allowed to cite home owners. 3. They should not be allowed to have the power to place a deed on your home. 4. Subdivisions should be allowed to disband an HOA as long as homeowners agree that is not for them
We just stayed with family and as soon as we drive into their neighborhood and saw the lawns and house colors (old navy khaki aisle) we said, “oh they have an HOA) 😂😂😂. Husbands aunt started talking about their HOA later that night. 😂😂😂
Just stay away from those thing 😂
Best trolling of an HOA I have ever seen was Jase Robertson on Duck Dynasty 😆 But that HOA president could have been Taylor in this video 😂
This makes me glad I live in a neighborhood without an HOA (The HOA is literally three houses and around the bend in the street away) and some really cool neighbors. All friendly and most of them have some sort of vintage/special interest vehicle, so no one bats an eye when I am doing oil changes or car repairs in my driveway (rear axle rebuild on a Model A Ford about to start).
Oh god. The moving PODS. This is such a real thing. I worked customer service for PODS for a few years. HOAs do call in and threaten do have them towed. Usually, it was set down that day, and would be for someone moving in or out. Do they not want people to move? They also have issues with moving trucks or UHauls. For one mega HOA down in Florida, the rules were that the container had to have the company logo on it that was no bigger than x amount. That warehouse had special containers to snap these banners on the sides, covering up the bigger logo with a smaller one. HOAs are so dumb.
Donna!! 🤣
We live in a neighborhood that has an HOA, but it is optional. The president, came over with a tape measure to measure our grass and left a note stating that our mailbox was leaning too much. With that note was an invitation to join for $160 a year. And, it gets better, 3 years ago we just had a good amount of snow. About 13". The HOA president's kid came with a snowplow to be a "good neighbor " and plow for us. He almost took out our garage door and then pushed all of the snow to the fire hydrant and covered it. The garage man backed into it the next day.
My husband jokingly said oh watch we're going to get a bill for this. 4 months later we got a bill with the HOA letter head asking us to send a check for $85 for "helping " us out. My husband sent the letter back with a big F-You across it. We have never had another issue after that.
Hit pause on that tree house. Dang!
