A: Yes, you can complain to your HOA about "Trump" flags flying on poles if you believe they violate community guidelines. First, review your HOA's bylaws to see if there are any restrictions on flags, signs, or political displays. If the flags breach any rules, you have grounds to raise the issue with the HOA board.

When you approach the HOA, be specific about which rules are being violated. Provide clear details and, if possible, include references to the exact sections of the bylaws. This will help the board address your concerns more effectively.

Keep in mind that homeowners have rights too, including freedom of expression. If the flags don't violate any HOA rules, there may be limited action the board can take. In that case, open communication with your neighbors might be the next best step to find a respectful resolution.
