What is the name of your state? Florida
We purchased our new construction home in September of last year with a significant lot premium for being on a pond. We also purchased with the understanding that, if a fence was to be built on properties adjacent to the pond, the fence had to be black, no higher than 4' tall and of the "wrought iron" style. We are in full compliance but, another pond resident is not. The resident, who purchased only 3 mos ago, built a 6' white pvc privacy fence which was approved by the HOA. Not only is this a direct violation of the covenants and restrictions, but it is also a direct violation of the deed they signed when purchasing their home. Their deed states that no permanent improvements are to be built next the home as it would be on the drainage easement owned by the County. I was told by the Mgnt. Company to "Get my lawyer in place" when I complained about, not only the violation of the covenants and restrictions of the HOA, but also about the wasted lot premium I paid for my view. Oh yeah.....and the homeowner is a buyer for the builder.
