And while a mailbox could be described as a “structure”–that doesn’t mean that the ordinary understanding of “structure” picks up mailboxes.

HOAs are in a difficult spot. If they don’t enforce the rules, there can be issues, but if they do, they are held to high standards.

I gor clipped for a $50 fine with an HOA a long time ago. They sent a bill for the dues in an envelope from some accounting firm that I had nothing to do with. The jerk president wouldn’t waive the late fee and snidely lectured me about reading my mail. I paid the money, but the piece of mind I gave him was worth it. I briefly considered a lawsuit, but not worth it.
