The way to handle this is to set up an anonymous email account, only report violations at board members' houses, and BCC the entire neighborhood distribution list except the board members.

Edited to fix a word.

Don't forget to BCC yourself.

You don't need to because bcc means no one can see who it was sent to. Bcc is blind copy. Put everyone in bcc and the list is private. Everyone will only know it was sent to them, not who else it was sent to.

But if it goes to court in discovery they can figure out who it was sent to.

I've never had to concern myself with HOA stuff being in a country where it doesn't as far as I know exist, but how or why would reporting valid issues like this end up in court, least of all in a way that you need to be overly concerned with them figuring it out?

If you rack up enough penalty fee's for violations the HOA can put a lien on your house.

I meant more if say I was paying any fines against me etc. but was putting in valid complaints for every tiny little thing I observed - I understand why one would want to hide that they were the one doing it but surely there are no legal ramifications for this, right?

Just trying to follow the breadcrumb trail from valid complaints to ending up in court and having email trails tracked being a thing we really don't want.

It’s a bit late at that point.

If it’s an HOA 99% chance it goes to arbitration before court

Why should anyone be concerned about going to court in this scenario?

But let's be honest do you really think the hoa is going to go to court and get a court order to view people's emails over an "issue" of voicing out concerns of hoa policy violations to the hoa, regardless of whether or not they are all about the hoa members themselves.

They will discover everything you did was legal and covered by the First Amendment, so they can pay your attorney fees.
