I just bought a house in a subdivision that has a whole book of C&R's. The one I am concerned about is re: the size of vehicles that can be placed or parked on my property. I made a phone call to one of the HOA officers before buying to inquire about it and if it was going to be a problem for my fiance to park his Class 8 truck in my driveway on occasion. He said as long as it didn't become a regular thing it would be okay. Well, lo and behold, I received a letter from the HOA a couple days after the truck was parked in the driveway overnight...once. I would like to respond to the letter nicely and be a good neighbor but there are going to be times the truck will have to be there. Guess I am just curious as to how apt they would be to push the issue legally when we are only talking about every now and then. Thanks so much for the input.

If they have an atty on staff, usually pretty successful. CCR's are pretty standard law and violations are usually resolved before they get to court; once they get there, it's pretty black and white. If they are going to have to lay out a ton of cash to pursue a violation, you'll find they are less able to go forward.

The only time that the covenants won't stand up in court is if there's a prior local or state law law that makes the specified regulation illegal.

Depends on many factors, but unless the C&R's are illegal in your state due to change in laws, they have the upper hand.
