Why this site exists

Alabama has no state agency that oversees homeowners associations, and homeowners who have a dispute with their HOA often have little recourse short of a lawsuit. This site was created so that Wynnfield residents, prospective buyers, real estate professionals and the public can find the association’s governing documents, a record of how the HOA has operated, and reporting on issues that affect the neighborhood, all in one place.

The site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated on behalf of the Wynnfield Homeowners Association, its board, or its attorneys. Opinions expressed in commentary pieces are those of the author.

Who publishes it

The site is published by a Wynnfield homeowner and former member of the Wynnfield HOA board of directors. Articles draw on public records, court filings, city council proceedings, HOA communications, interviews with residents, and first-hand observation. Where the publisher has a personal involvement in a matter being reported, that involvement is disclosed in the article.
