question on homeowners association demands of compliance hello greg. thank you for answering this question. i have been notified by the homeowners association that i am in violation of their CCR rules. i widened my driveway by placing concrete stepping stones on either end to park 3 cars side by side. i am penalized for not asking permission first and am required to undo in a given time frame or be subject to fines and potential legal action thereafter if i don’t comply. initially i drafted a letter stating that this house and the land it sits on is my private property and their notice to me is trespass by way of extortion. but as i listened to some archived q&a’s i am reminded of staying in honor and providing conditional remedy, e.g. to say i will proceed with corrective action provided they cover the expenses for what they require of me, but even this seems questionable now. i’ve not noticed anyone, only correspondences, and as i write this question to you, its become apparent that i am actually fearful to make the dive. i’ve already sat in my closet doing deep breathing to feel through the increased heart rate from fear, and then crying a lot. thought i was done but guess not. susan
