Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Have U ever paid an HOA ?

I was talking about roads.....you are talking about different things.....you have got to watch out buying without some covenants and buying with to much covenants....bob

Do HOA's typically pave and maintain the roads inside their boundaries? Seems that'd be a big ass subdivision or some really steep dues. Sounds more like a gated community. The HOA's I'm familiar with exist in neighborhoods with city/county streets roads.

The asshat that subdivided my neighborhood has one going down the hill.
Twp supervisors cut a deal to pave and take over our road if it was prepared to
state specs for the paving. So the residents did, and it's paved.

New supervisors, no more tasking over any road not currently paved and up to specs.

This jerk develops 20+ acres.
First he promises to pave after he sells a few lots.
Then, he claims that if enough get sold, the Twp will take over, like they did for us.

Now that it's pretty much full, he just ain't saying anything.

And these folk have built $400k homes on dirt roads.
They don't speak real well about him!

All told, I'm guessing a mile of road. 20' wide. Excavated, compacted stone,
base and top coat to spec, a bunch of money. No HOA to decide on the split and to force anyone to pay up. It aint never gonna happen.

A few will split the cost and get crushed stone hauled in. Of course the ones that don't pay drive over it like it's Daytona. Two weeks and it's blown into the grass.

I'd be nuts if I was them.
A dirt road is ok for me. A price for being remote.
But on an acre, with neighbors in my yard?

They should've stayed urban where they belong.

Urban sprawl is destroying the country.

I used to dove and rabbit hunt where I live now.

LMAO..... you glorious bastard... carry on

Yeah, if roads were the only issue and there were "good neighbors" on the road being maintained I'd have no issue with a fee to maintain it.

The problem, in the experience of some friends with those type agreements, some folks are deadbeats and still use the road. And if it gets rutted they just drive around the ruts and make new ones outside the boundaries of the road.

My apologies, but the title of the thread relates to HOAs, of which many contain a good portion, and sometimes more, of the restrictions of which I posted. I personally have never run across one titled "HOA" that ONLY deals with a road.

If you live in an area that has a HOA that only concerns itself with your access roads, you're a lucky man.

sunofabish.

Well, Kent did go to Mexico, so the pile of worms is not completely out of the realm, eh?

Mine does with 150'ish homes on what was a 1,300 acre ranch with two sides on the Guadalupe River. We pay $500/yr that covers the roads and maintenance of two parks, one where you drop the kayak and one where you pull it hours later. Hunting is restricted to bows/crossbows only. Single and double wides are not allowed... Here in Idaho, well, no.

Gated communities are HOAs you fugking hillbilly.

And yes, some of them maintain their own streets.

There I was, on the wrong side of the border, running the cartel gauntlet, just trying to survive... me and my trusty mexican tapeworm Chapito... but the real danger we brought with us...

Trailer for season 1 coming soon...

Nope , natta , never..
But being in the excavation business and digging lots of new houses in such developments , I can sure tell you about a lot if dick heads that think they run thd world.

Every sub-division around me lake front property is HOA except mine....been living here for 30 years been trying to make everyone join its not going to happen as long as I live hear ...to change they would need 100% of home owner would need to join.....they have a HOA its only a name and try to force people that move into the area to join by having the selling agent give them the paperwork to sign.....most people that live in the area do so for less than 5 years or when ever the economy makes a turn and they sell and get out....

I live in an area with a couple dozen acreages that are in an HOA - except ours. We're on an outside corner of it all. Somehow when it was platted 30 years ago, our place wasn't included, probably because it was a hay field at the time. Oh, shucks, I don't get to me a member. I'll live with that.

Tikkanut: No.

Nope.
I’ve got my 5 acres, can’t see my nearest neighbor, pistol range out back along with my rifle velocity tester, big garden, pee wherever I want slice of heaven. Most years I hear elk bugling on the hill behind my house, grey foxes and the occasional bobcat chasing the squirrels.
