If your HOA board denied your architectural application with a vague "it doesn't fit the aesthetic of the neighborhood," they are violating the Davis-Stirling Act. Under Civil Code 4765, architectural decisions must be reasonable, made in good faith, and tied to published standards or applicable law. Boards do not have the authority to issue arbitrary denials based on the personal tastes of the directors. If your governing documents don't have a specific rule or statutory citation to back up their decision, the denial is invalid. I have broken down the strict limits on architectural control in my new 6,000-word guide. Don't let your board act as the ultimate judge of your home's appearance without following the law.
