Tough to do, today. In a number of states, Illinois being one, new developments are required to have HOA's with a standard, boilerplate CC&R statement provided by the Assembly for simplicity. when did Illinois do that That's a good question. I don't believe it was in place when I bought my house eleven years ago. But I've been hearing it now for a number of years from sources within both the real estate community, and media. Pre-existing non HOA communities are forming HOA's to protect themselves from intrusion by commercial interests that cannot get traction in other HOA communities. AND...in at least two counties, here, there are basic CC&R's in place on undeveloped land, levied by county boards, in speculation that developers may wish to move that way. Meaning, you can buy a piece of land in deep weeds, build a home with your own hands, and before you close the door, be in violation of antenna restrictions. Even though the nearest neighbor may be an hour away. glad I left the state a few years back You are not alone in that sentiment. And I'm not far behind you. |
