Losing HOA Sign Case Costs Owners $7000 in Covering HOA Legal Costs

I have often talked about my support of a no-sign rule for condominiums and HOAs, along with the risk owners take if they fight this rule. For Johnnie and Clara Russell of Fort Worth, the judge in their case – which they lost – awarded the defendants, the HOA, legal costs. In this case, the award amounts to $7000 which the Russell family must now pay.

My continuing caution to owners that want to fight no-sign laws: it’s an uphill battle, it’s expensive, and you’re likely going to lose.
