The girls are getting a swing set for Christmas from Grams and Pappy! Only one little problem.....After I ordered the swing and was searching the Internet for someone to install the swing for us, I came across lawsuits from HOA's against homeowners for not getting approval, etc. What? We are new to living in the HOA community and I knew about getting approval for additions, exterior painting, landscaping, and other major changes. But, nowhere in our 'rules' does it say anything about a swing set. I emailed the HOA and got this response 'If your swing set is "regulation" with no elaborate forts, tall climbing structures, etc, you need no application. If it has a fort or other elaborate structures that accompany the swings, you will need to fill out an application.' Now I have to fill out this very detailed form and have it go up to the board and they will approve or deny within 30 days. I was able to search past meeting minutes online and found 2 cases from 2011 where the board approved a swing set and a playhouse. Fingers crossed we get approved!
