Is it legal to fly a Blue Lives Matter flag in my HOA?

Full question:

Is the "Blue Lives Matter" American flag legal to fly as an American flag. My HOA has ordered me to take it down.

Answer:

The issue at hand involves Freedom of Speech under the United States Constitution. Homeowners Associations (HOAs) sometimes attempt to limit constitutional rights that the government cannot infringe upon. While the law does not always favor homeowners, courts have occasionally ruled in favor of homeowners on these constitutional grounds. Your flag or signs represent an expression of your freedom of speech as a homeowner. Users can search for state-specific legal templates at .

FAQs

Yes, you can sue your HOA for selective enforcement if you believe they are not applying their rules fairly. Selective enforcement occurs when an HOA enforces rules against some homeowners but not others. To succeed in such a lawsuit, you would need to show that the HOA treated you differently than similarly situated homeowners. However, legal outcomes can vary based on state laws and specific circumstances. Consulting with a local attorney can provide guidance tailored to your situation. *Legal statutes mentioned reflect the law at the time the content was written and may no longer be current.
