A homeowner in Katy is challenging a new fee imposed by the Sunterra Homeowners Association. The fee, which is $1,000 annually, applies to homeowners who rent out their properties. This change is affecting residents who use their homes as investment properties.

The homeowner, who owns two properties in the Sunterra community, is questioning the HOA's authority to impose this new charge. He had reviewed the community's governing documents before purchasing the properties, which allowed leasing under certain conditions. Further details about the new policy and its implications are available from the source, including additional requirements for homeowners who lease their properties.
