Before deciding to "Stand your Ground" against the HOA, consult a local real estate lawyer about this issue. It will be much cheaper now to get a good answer, than later. If he believes you are correct, a letter from him to the HOA should settle the matter. Good Luck, and thanks for visiting Justia.
