Homeowners Association Orders Owner to Remove Tank

Even the parking disputes are bigger in Texas.

Houston attorney Tony Buzbee recently purchased a fully-functional World War II tank for $600,000. The board of his homeowners association was not pleased when Mr. Buzbee proceeded to park that tank outside his home. "It's not violating any ordinance, but it makes them uncomfortable," he said. The board informed Mr. Buzbee that the tank impeded traffic, caused a safety issue, and concerned some of his neighbors.

Mr. Buzbee has indicated that intends to relocate the tank to his East Texas ranch in the near future.  However, he has also stated that the tank will remain where it is for the time being. "The association can ticket it or try to tow it, but the truth is that unless I decide to move it, it ain’t going anywhere."
