A growing collection of the most unhinged, petty, and inexplicably specific letters homeowners associations have ever sent real people.
RE: Your HOA Violation Letter
Dear Homeowner,
It has come to our attention that you may be in possession of a letter — formal, passive-aggressive, or somewhere in the unsettling middle — regarding a garden gnome, a wind chime, a trash can visible for eleven minutes too long, or grass of an unapproved height.
We are not your HOA. We simply believe your letter deserves an audience larger than your refrigerator door.
Please submit a photo or scan below. Names and addresses will be redacted — the HOA does not get to know who's laughing.
Thank you for helping keep this community beautiful.
Dog Shaming started this whole genre, and PassiveAggressiveNotes.com ran for over a decade on the exact submission-and-showcase format — real notes, real people, eventually a published book. If your HOA has main character energy, we want to know.
A photo or scan of the actual letter. No paraphrasing, no explaining — let it speak for itself.
