4 Guidelines to Follow When Grilling in an HOA Community

It’s officially grilling season, which means it’s time to fire up the barbecue and enjoy some delicious food. However, if you live in an HOA community, there are some guidelines that you need to follow to stay within the rules. Here are four helpful tips that’ll ensure your cookout goes smoothly.

1. Follow the HOAs Rules

Before you fire up the grill for summer, it’s essential to check your governing documents to ensure it is allowed. Some HOAs have specific guidelines about grilling, such as what grills are permitted, so it’s essential to follow the rules set forth by your HOA.

2. Be Aware of Your Surroundings

If your HOA allows homeowners to grill, it’s vital to be aware of your surroundings and considerate of your neighbors. When setting up your grill, make sure it’s positioned in a well-ventilated area so that the smoke doesn’t bother anyone and is away from buildings, trees, or bushes.

3. Be Safe and Responsible When Grilling

When grilling in an HOA community, always be safe and responsible. Make sure that you’re using proper grilling techniques to avoid any accidents, and never leave the grill unattended. Additionally, keep a water source or fire extinguisher close by in case of emergency.

4. Properly Clean the Grill

Once you’re done grilling, turn off the grill and clean it. This will ensure it’s ready to go for the next cookout. Remember to scrape the grates, remove any grease drippings, and clean out any debris from the inside of the grill once it’s cool to the touch.
