Tha nerve of the association to send an email rather than confront me face to face.
So what do associations normally do if you infract the rules?

As someone who's adopted rotties over the years, that was great of you to do. It's such a sweet breed. Two of them sleep with my 8 year old every night on her bed.
This topic interests me as I'm currently looking to (finally) purchase a condo on the lake. I can easily get deed information through the realtors but finding association rules is like pulling teeth it seems. Maybe I'm going about it wrong, but I would like to bring my dogs so they don't have to be boarded as they currently are every time I head up and stay over on my boat.
Anyhow, on what they can do if you disobey the rules? It depends on what's in your association. If there is an association board, it will be taken up on them. If no board, usually it requires a formal written statement, and then if nothing you can be brought to court, and levied a fine (some stated amount per day). Each association is different so the rules will be different too, but expect something like that in the wording most likely.
Now, WILL someone do something? Most likely not. Where my house is, we have these rules but 80% of the people are breaking one thing or another. I can only imagine if someone tried to have dairy cows in their front yard something would happen, but beyond that, as long as the place is clean, quiet, and taken care of and not a bother to anyone else, no one will bother.
