Pain Check
Does this match your situation?
- ▸Your HOA inspector decided your grass was 'too tall' — but never measured it or cited a specific rule
- ▸The CC&Rs use subjective language like 'well-maintained' or 'attractive' without measurable standards
- ▸You never received the 10-day cure period Georgia law typically requires
- ▸Other properties in worse condition aren't being fined — clear selective enforcement
- ▸The fine started before you ever had a chance to fix the alleged issue
Georgia Law on Your Side

FAQ
Quick Answers
But isn't lawn maintenance my responsibility?+
Yes, but the HOA must (1) cite a specific, measurable rule, (2) give you proper notice and a chance to cure, and (3) enforce the rule consistently across all owners. Aesthetic 'judgment call' fines often fail these tests.
Is this legal advice?+
No. PushBackHOA is a self-help document tool, not a law firm. For complex matters, consult a licensed attorney in your state.
What if I genuinely had tall grass?+
The dispute letter focuses on procedural defects (notice, hearing, cure period, selective enforcement) — not whether you violated. Most HOA fines fail on procedure, not facts.
30-day refund?+
Yes. If you're not satisfied for any reason within 30 days, full refund — no questions asked.
