umccall+FollowFlorida homeowner’s $165K parking nightmareImagine racking up $165,000 in fines just for parking in your own driveway. That’s exactly what happened to Sandy Martinez in Lantana, Florida, after a series of city code violations—some as small as a cracked driveway or a storm-damaged fence—spiraled into daily fines. The biggest hit? Parking a few family cars off the driveway, which cost her $250 a day. Even after fixing the issues, the fines kept coming, leaving her unable to sell her home or move on. Do you think cities should have this much power over homeowners? Where should the line be drawn? #Transportation #FloridaNews #HomeownerRights01Share
Andrew Aguilar+FollowMy HOA is trying to charge me $500/day for "Unauthorized Holiday Cheer.We spent the entire Thanksgiving weekend putting up lights with the kids. It’s been a rough year financially, so we wanted to make the house look extra magical to cheer everyone up. The kids were so proud of the blow-up Santa on the lawn. Less than 24 hours later, I found a certified letter taped to my door. "Violation: Holiday decorations displayed prior to December 1st. Fine: $500 per day until removed." Are you kidding me? It’s November 30th! I called the management office, and they said, "Rules are rules, it lowers property value to look like a carnival in November." Now my 6-year-old is crying asking why the neighbors hate Santa, and I’m contemplating whether to take them down or fight this in court. I pay $350 a month in HOA fees for this harassment? Does anyone else have an HOA board on a power trip? Is this even enforceable? #HOANightmare #KarenAlert #ChristmasGrinch #HomeownerRights #SuburbanDrama #RealEstate #LegalHelp12Share
