Good Afternoon, I recently placed an 8×10 inch professionally made metal sign in my front yar.d. The sign reads: “This Area Has Been Treated With Pesticide. Please Keep All Pets Off The Grass. Thank You.” I was unable to ascertain who specifically was allowing their dog to pee on my lawn so that I could speak with them personally. The sign was my “neighborly” way of asking this person to refrain from allowing their dog to pee on my lawn because the dog’s urine was burning my grass and I had also decided to start applying some chemicals to my lawn each week after I mowed. The sign has been up for 30 days. It does not obstruct anyone’s line of sight or create any safety issues. Today I received a notice that I am in violation of our HOA covenants and that unless I remove the sign within three days, I will be fined $100/day. Our HOA covenants include restrictions and guidelines for political signs, but do not include any specifics regarding general signage other than they are prohibited. The message on my sign is not offensive in any way, so what am I missing? Why is my sign any different from the decorative message signs, sports team booster signs and security system warning signs that I see displayed on so many of my neighbors’ lawns? I would appreciate any guidance on this you are willing to provide to me.
