HOA Called Cops When I Said "I’m Not in Their HOA" — Shocked When They Learned I Own Their Streets

Homeowners Associations (HOAs) only have authority over properties they govern through membership agreements, and their jurisdiction is limited to the specific properties they own or control; if a property owner retains ownership of underlying infrastructure like streets, they are not subject to HOA rules even if they live in the same neighborhood, demonstrating that HOA authority depends on documented property ownership rather than mere geographic proximity.
