Yes, ours started at 75 a year but is now 185 I think after 25 years. We have a lot of common areas around the golf course to maintain in the neighborhood and a small pool that we've never used.
My Property in Arizona is has a POA Property owners Association. Our Community has over 75 miles of dirt roads that we pay to maintain. My share of the cost is $164 a year. I do not mind paying because the POA keeps the roads open so I can get to my property 9 1/2 miles in. We also have a Volunteer Crew that does not get paid to work the Roads. That helps keep our dues from going up every year.
This feels like a trap. Birdy will be along shortly to expound about the freedom of the bario followed shortly by blastfart bitdching about those that don't live in a singlewide in the wilderness of N.Y.
Jim and Sam have an HOA but call it the BLM. That is not what the oregoonians think it is.

II've owned two houses with HOAs. One HOA was the poster child for why people hate HOAs. They were hyper politicized and did nothing to actually help homeowners. In fact, when we were selling the house they tried to shake us down and threatened to block the sale if we didn't do as they said. They lost.
The other HOA wasn't bad and they did keep everything looking very nice and ensured that selfish idiots didn't ruin quality of life for others. They'd also do things like threaten us for leaving garbage cans out, but they never really acted on their threats.
All in all, I'd prefer to not live where there is an HOA.
Eliminate qualified immunity and you'll eliminate cops who act like they are above the law.
