Q: can an hoa member be forced to take on ownership of county owned roads if they disagree to it?
our hoa board wishes to purchase and take over the ownership of county owned roads to keep a gate that we have had for over 20 years and illegally operational and installed due to the fact our roads publicly funded. We are being told that majority will win the decision. we are being provided all of the information. our hoa can legally only raise dues 5% a year but they are attempting force us to take the ownership of the roads and are not being truthful in reference to the future as well as many other situations affected. taking ownership at this we are told will increase our dues 27.5% yearly and this is not a final number. they will also gain the easement agreements which i am not comfortable with for many reasons. do I have rights can I be forced to do this?
A: Without reading all the HOA documents which have been filed with the Clerk of Court and all the other documents which could impact your question, there is nobody here that is going to be able to provide the answers you seek. I suggest that you find and meet with a qualified real property (real estate) attorney so that the attorney can review all the pertinent documents and ask you the questions needed to be able to provide guidance for you.
