Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Maryland
Can a homeowner's association in Harford County, Maryland regulate parking on a county owned street?
1 Answer from Attorneys
It depends on the specific facts of your case, but if the county owned streets are within the borders of the HOA, then yes, the HOA typically has the right to make reasonable rules and regulations about parking on that street. Read your Declaration of Covenants, which you received when you purchased your home (and if you didn't receive one, they are filed in Harford County land records, which you probably access on-line). Also, you might be able to get your hands on the deed from the HOA/developer to the county where by the HOA/developer gave the roadway to the county (likely because the HOA didn't want the responsibility and expense of maintaining the roadway) and see what it says, if anything, about the HOA's right to makes rules and regulations pertaining to the road.
Best of luck.*****The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.******
