Bill > HB2435

This bill modifies Missouri state law to limit homeowners' associations' (HOAs) ability to restrict certain property uses. Specifically, the bill prevents HOAs from prohibiting political signs, solar panel installations, sale signs, and ownership of up to six chickens on lots two-tenths of an acre or larger. For political and sale signs, HOAs can create reasonable rules about their time, size, place, number, and manner of display, and may remove signs that threaten public health/safety, violate ordinances, include sound/music, or have additional materials attached. However, before removing such signs or imposing fines, the HOA must provide three days' written notice specifying the violation. Regarding solar panels, HOAs can establish reasonable placement rules that do not prevent installation, impair functioning, restrict use, or adversely affect the device's cost or efficiency. The bill defines key terms like "homeowners' association" and clarifies that these provisions apply only to rooftops owned and controlled by individual property owners. The legislation aims to provide homeowners with more flexibility in property use while still allowing HOAs to maintain some regulatory oversight.
