Can an HOA prohibit the American flag from being hung upside down?
Question: One of our neighbors flies the “upside down” flag on his roof. At our last social gathering by the swimming pool, there was a loud argument and almost a fistfight about this flag. Our homeowner association board of directors now wants to prohibit all political flags except the Stars and Stripes. Would that prohibition be allowed?
Answer: No. Under , a homeowner association cannot prohibit a homeowner from flying not only the American flag but also some other flags, such as the Arizona state flag, the POW/MIA flag, and the Gadsden flag. An HOA, however, can generally prohibit the flying of the American flag upside down.
