County ordinances can be more restrictive than state statutes as long as the two are not in conflict. Most counties have these ordinances because most homeowners do not want to see recreational vehicles and boats parked in their communities. Challenging a law in court is not an easy or cheap...

Does the BOD have the authority to tell me what I can and cannot park in my spots? Do they have the authority to tow a car out of my deed owned parking spot?

Maybe you should google "Tennessee Code", or something, and read what the statute says. It's, obviously Tennessee law, not Florida law.
I was fined 16k for violating city code on short term rentals. I moved so didn't receive the 1st notice warning and they did not post it at the house as required once returned.

Sure anyone can sue anyone else at any time for anything--including this situation.
But I don't recommend trying it without a lawyer.
Whether you have a good claim or not depends on what the code violations were for.
Hire a lawyer to investigate this case and advise you on what to do.

Yes, but they have to provide the respective notice requirements to the membership as determined by the bylaws or the statute. The statute provides for a 48-hour notice. The bylaws could be different.

State records which clearly don't support the action and the district court dismissed the case absent procedural due process is the case live or dead for purposes of completion? This action has caused and continues to cause concrete harm and damages for which redress is required.

If the court dismissed the case, and if the time for appeal is over, the case would be over. Why?

a set of plans which would result in the violation of the rights of the adjacent residents, could that be an actionable offense under 42 USC 1983 ?

No, and you really need to schedule a consultation with a land use & zoning attorney to evaluate your situation and explain your legal rights. 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983, which provides a legal cause of action for violation of Federal constitutional or statutory rights, does not apply to complaints... View More

answered on Apr 7, 2021
Liability attaches to whoever owns the trike as well as whoever is driving it when an accident occurs. So if the club owns the trike (name on the title) they cannot avoid liability by leasing it or selling it subject to a purchase money loan. Hire an experienced lawyer to help keep the club on this...
