It's the flagpole...not the flag and it's their property...pretty simple.

Now we're getting somewhere.

When you live in a HOA it's not your property? I understand you technically never own property. But, in a HOA there are how many "owners"? You,the hoa, the city, the state, then the feds?

Not in this guys case...it states it's "community property"...you know like a shared area out in front of several units.

Now in a neighborhood/subdivision with single family homes...yes you own the property BUT if they have an HOA they can still tell you what you can construct etc. which sucks even worse than this guys situation imho.

Well, in this case, its a condo, so the property belongs to whoever developed/owns the condo's.

But, what about when your BUYING a home in a community with a HOA, how can they say they have any legal right to your property???

I realize there has to be laws, so people dont turn lawns into dumps and paint there house hot pink, but the city officials should deal with that, not the idiots down the street.

It is a townhome, similar to an apartment.

He owns his UNIT but not the ground or the building surrounding it.

He can put the flag pole in his living room if he wants, he can't put it on someone else's property.

Barfoot had sought permission to install the pole shortly after he moved into the community — a complex of townhouses where the grounds are community property — last June. The board denied his request in July.
