Once you sign up for a HOA it’s not. HOA’s are evil, have been for a long time, good that you’re finally learning this.
To: MrChips
Put it up and keep your video ready and be ready to call the media when they fight you on it.

Did you read the rules before buying/renting?
No mercy from this corner.

And you agreed to their rules in exchange for something? Do they maintain the streets or sewerage? Get yourself a few dozen acres and plant all the signs you want!

Put signs in your windows — you get a double benefit: They can’t be stolen.

You signed the dotted line.

Can you give me a compass heading to a few dozen acres in the Tampa area that doesn’t cost a fortune? Last time I looked I found a nice 7 acre plot for only $1.4 million and only an hour away.

I'd put the sign up and let them be damned! I reserve the right to free speech and to Hell with their rinky-dink HOA!

I had a friend who complained about all the noise from the jets flying low over his house. I told him he shouldn’t have moved next to an airport.

I anchored mine with 50 lbs of cement and greased the wire rods with tar.

I'm the President of our HOA. You can put up any damned kind of sign you want here ~ as far as we care ~ but Fairfax county has some limits ~ (quite large ones as it turns out).
So why don't you dump that tarpaper Souvrn shack and come on up here and buy one of our community's 8 (count'em, eight) homes and put up your signs 'till the cows come home!

Yep, it is America and you are free to enter into a binding contract and agree to abide by its terms. HOA sux0r but its what you agreed to. Work within the system to change it. Unless you are in a nest of libs, you should be able to get on the board and change the rules.

Here’s one thing I don’t understand. Do you own the property or does the HOA own it? I’d assume the individual homeowners have to pay property taxes. If that’s so, and the HOA has no legal authority, only contractual authority, what right do they to tell you what to do with your property? I mean, I know you have to agree to the terms of the contract before you can posess the property, but once it’s yours, I don’t see how they can enforce the contract. What am I missing?
To: MrChips
Well, you signed the contract and agreed to put yourself under the tyranny of your HOA. No one forced you to do so.

I don’t think it would be permitted to restrict your political right to free speech anymore than putting up a sign that says “I’m not responsible if you slip on my icy sidewalk” would absolve you of responsibility.
The homeowners’ ass. can say it, but it doesn’t make it legal.

To: MrChips
I have an HOA too. You sign for it at closing. Mind you, mine’s not as restrictive as yours, but I have to refer to it once in a while. I made the choice. I can’t complain now.
