    I dissolved my HOA We moved into our neighborhood about a year and a half ago, greeted by a $350/yr HOA with a tiny pool house and power hungry HOA Board. Fortunately it was owner managed instead of a company.

    Fast forward 6 months and the board swaps over with a plan to dissolve the HOA, but after month of battling 3 werent able to pull it off. At this point I decided to become the President to dissolve this and enjoy my chickens in peace.

    Well we did it.....it took 6 months and a lot of headaches but its done. I defunded this , sold off the poolhouse, and can now listen to my rooster crow each morning (hes a quiet boy) knowing that the world has one less HOA and sip my coffee in peace.

    Lead No9107 I don't like HOAs. I'm not a huge fan of noise either. I do love fried chicken though!

    hopejake922 We have an HOA with literally nothing. No pool, play area, walking trails or even street lights. $500 a year. Dream of mine to dissolve it.

    Need helpnowwhat OP Honestly there were so many nuances that i would HIGHLY reccomend you talk to a lawyer before even bringing the vote to the community. We had to redo our vote 3 times because the first 2 would open up the board members to lawsuit based on how they were done. By number 3 we had everything figured out and got it to stick.
