Will my HOA block a pool?

Public GIS can tell you a parcel sits in a platted subdivision. It can't read that subdivision's CC&Rs — that gap matters.

What's actually knowable from public data

We flag a likely HOA by matching your parcel against platted-subdivision records. That's a real, useful signal — most subdivisions with recorded plats have an active HOA or architectural review committee.

What it isn't

A platted-subdivision match is not the same as pulling the CC&Rs and finding a pool-specific clause. Some HOAs require design review, cap pool size or location, or ban above-ground pools outright, and none of that is visible from a map. Treat the flag as "go check," not "go build."

If you need the real document

A human CC&R pull is a later, demand-gated add-on — worth it if the platted-subdivision flag comes back positive and you want certainty before you commit to a design.
