Standby Generators: what each state's HOA law says
Key provisions from 1 official statutes. Every entry comes from the statute's own wording; open a statute for the exact quote and full text.
| Jurisdiction | Can the HOA ban it? | Restrictions the HOA may set | Cost limit for location rules | HOA approval rules | Burden of proof | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Texas | No, except on association-owned or common property | Screening, location, licensed contractors, testing times, and code compliance | 10 percent generator; 20 percent including lines | Cannot deny if installation meets allowed provisions | HOA must prove noncompliance in hearings | Tex. Prop. Code 202.019 |
A dash means we have no separate entry for that column. It does not mean the law is silent: the point may be covered in another column or elsewhere in the statute, so open the statute for its full text.
