Property Rights Should Be Preserved

We feel that property rights are sacred and should be preserved to every extent possible. But the Board has been quite vague regarding the STR issues that need to be resolved – with statements like STRs “began to bother neighbors” a year ago. After a great deal of discussion with other neighbors, we have only been able to identify five problem houses, three of which were resolved using the city code. The City of Carrollton has laws in place to address many if not all of the issues typically raised by STRs. They also have the manpower and funds to enforce those laws. Please consider what precisely are the problems that need to be fixed and whether there are current laws in place to address them before giving up your property rights. These proposed restrictions also affect your basic right to privacy. The proposed restriction requiring you to respond to the Board’s inquiries as to the occupants in your home gives the HOA Board more power than our Federal Government has. If you have an issue with an STR, please email CountryPlaceAdvocates@gmail.com and we will endeavor to help you find an effective solution for your concerns.
