Rights of HOA's

By
Real Estate Agent with CENTURY 21 Beal, Inc.

Living in Texas under HOAs is not always a pleasant experience for the 20% of homeowners falling under that category. For instance, one homeowner in Atlanta laments his inability to install Solar Panels on the roof of his house due to HOA ruling. U.S. and state court systems have time after time enforced HOA control… until recently. New rights have been granted to Texas property owners under HOAs. The first of these rights allows homeowners to install solar energy devices on their property without the interference of HOA authority. A similar right allows property owners to install roof panels that are wind/hail resistant or energy efficient in any way. Property owners can also install rain water harvesting devices. Homeowners are also now allowed to display certain religious symbols at the entrance of their property. And, of course, the new Texas rights declare the HOAs cannot prevent homeowners from flying a U.S., Texas, or military flag.
