My HOA Billed Me $150 a Month for My Own Property | The Amendment Was Void

My HOA Billed Me $150 a Month for My Own Property | The Amendment Was Void The letter arrived on a Friday evening and told me I owed $150 a month to use the garage that's been in my deed since the day I paid $342,000 for this house — the garage where I keep six years of client files, my workbench, and my wife Jill's garden tools organized along the south wall. I'm a CPA with twenty-two years of practice, and when I opened the Cobb County property records database that same night, I wasn't looking for a fight — I was looking for the number that didn't belong. What I found instead was a 2019 amendment to the HOA's governing documents that had been signed by three board members and recorded as law without ever going to a membership vote, making the entire garage fee program legally void from the moment it was created. But the amendment was only the beginning, because when the numbers in the HOA's financial disclosures refused to reconcile, I kept pulling records until I found the name of the management company collecting $67,000 in HOA funds — and the registered agent of that company was Douglas Fenn, the HOA president himself. If you've ever gotten a bill for something you already owned, this is what happens when the person who sent it didn't know they were dealing with someone who reads documents for a living. #HOAAbuse #PropertyRights #HOAFraud #HomeownerRights #GeorgiaHOA #CPAvsHOA
