My TR is in Maryland in a HOA community. Here,
no tags = derelict auto = county can tow away at owner's
expense. That's anywhere in the county. The HOA has
rights in the CC&R to enter property for various reasons.
They cited me for having the car on the street (with tags)
under a cover. I put it in the garage, A couple years ago the
HOA deeded the streets to the city, so now I guess I can tell
them to take a leap if the car is legally parked on the street.
Also, there is a provision against "major repairs". I haven't
seen anyone cited for that yet, but I don't do a lot of work with
the garage door open either! The best bet is to keep on friendly
terms with the neighbors, since in most cases I think the
neighbors are the ones who are turning the car owner in.
