Can a homeowner association remove an owners trash from community property?

If your governing documents state that an owner's property -- or the common areas -- must remain in a 'neat and tidy condition', and the property is not being maintained to that standard, there are options that the association can execute in order to remedy the situation.
Read your governing documents to determine the steps that the association must take before simply 'removing owner's ... trash from community property'.
The first step may be to notify the owner that their 'property' is being stored on community property, which is not allowed. In the notice, give the owner options to either remove their 'property' or the association will remove it, and set a deadline. In this notice, inform the owner as to the disposition of the 'property' if it is removed by the association.
If the owner chooses not to respond to the notice and does not take action, the association can remove the 'property', and dispose of it as in the notification.
The association must leave a wide paper trail in this situation, that could include receipts for certified mail, return receipt requested, with signatures showing receipt of the notice, and so forth.
Your association attorney can advise you, given the steps listed in your governing documents, as to how you can best proceed.

I would like to find out how I can have my property exempted from our local property owners association?
If you purchased your property subject to the by-laws and rules & regulations of a Homeowner's Association you cannot remove your property from the association. All the other owners have the right to expect that each owner must follow the rules and pay their share in the assessments and maintenance fees. Removing your property from the association would mean that you could not share in any of the benefits of the association, including amenities, roadways, common area parking, trash removal, sewer service, master insurance coverage and so forth. There would be no way to accommodate your property separately from the common elements owned by all owners. As an alternative, you can remove yourself from the association by selling your property to a new owner.
How do you get out of a home owners association when your builder-developer is going bankrupt?
You cannot necessarily separate your property from a home owner's association because the developer is in bankruptcy. If the remaining property is sold to a new developer it would acquire all the rights appurtenant to the land including sponsorship of the homeowner's association. When you purchase a property in a planned community you are automatically a member of the association. Unless the association is dissolved, you will remain a member as long as you own the property. Depending on how many lots were already sold you may need to bring an action in court to have the homeowner's association extinguished. The homeowner's association was intended to protect the rights of anyone who purchased a lot in the subdivision and until something changes legally it would remain effective. In some cases, the association simply becomes idle when there are not enough members to support it. However, even in that case, the property remains subject to the HOA until it is dissolved. In other cases where the development is not brought to completion all the lot owners can agree to disband the HOA. They need the advice of an attorney who specializes in real estate to guide that process. Generally, HOA funds are kept separate from the assets of the developer. If the funds were co mingled, when your builder-developer files for bankruptcy, your association's attorney may be able to preserve rights, monies and other assets of the community.

If a homeowner pays for roofing repairs or other services in a condominium due to shortage of funds should the association reimburse the homeowner?
The key phrase in your question is 'shortage of funds'. If the association borrows money from its owners to make repairs, then the owners and the association need a written agreement that details the repayment plan. A more common and more sound approach dictates that the association levies a special assessment against all owners to pay for repairs and other services. An association that operates with a 'shortage of funds' is not an association where units will be attractive to buyers.
2nd phase was developed 2 yrs after 1st. Can you force a homeowner to join into the HOA even if Developer failed to join the property into the HOA formed for the 1st Phase?
A home owners association is a legal, land-use definition of property. Purchaser who buys property in an association is -- by definition -- a member: s/he joined when s/he purchased. If you wish to challenge your status in the association, you can work with an association-savvy attorney who can help you understand your situation from a legal point of view.
Can a leisure club file a lien against properties not situated in the associations boundaries for unpaid dues?
Of course--if the association likes to pay attorney fees and court costs to the property owners whose land title was slandered by the lien. If the association is not in the deed of the property, then the association has no authority to compel payment of dues. For the same reason, those property owners have no authority to enjoy property and facilities owned by the association. Check with a title company to see if the association is in the deed of the delinquent properties.Another PerspectiveSometimes early property owners adjacent to lake communities will voluntarily join the association and thereby make the facilities appurtenant to their own lots and make their property subject to its rules and regulations. Also, adjacent tract owners may voluntarily make their lots subject to the rules and regulations in order to maintain the community at a high standard and attract buyers. You need to consult with the attorney who represented you when you purchased the property to determine if your property was ever made subject to the rules and regulations of the leisure community. That information would be disclosed by a comprehensive title examination.
