Read your governing documents to most fully understand the owner's responsibility to abide by them, and the association's responsibility to enforce the covenants, restrictions, conditions and reservations written there.
Your governing documents spell out the steps to be taken by the association in their process of enforcing the rules.
There is no standard: every association is a private democracy. Every owner agrees at time of purchase to abide by the guidelines written in the documents that govern that association.

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.
