Why It’s Flagged
La. Civ. Code art. 783 & La. R.S. 9:1141.8 (Strict Construction of Building Restrictions)
Under La. Civ. Code art. 783, any doubt as to the existence, validity, or extent of building restrictions must be resolved in favor of the unrestricted use of the immovable.
Under Louisiana appellate precedent (e.g., Oakbrook Civic Ass'n v. Sonnier, 481 So. 2d 1008 (La. 1986)), an architectural committee or HOA board cannot impose monetary fines or mandatory tree-replacement ratios that are not explicitly quantified in the recorded Act of Restrictions filed in the St. Tammany Parish conveyance records.
