Iowa HF2367 limits unit owners associations' ability to restrict native vegetation on unit owners' lawns, provided it is properly maintained.
Iowa HF2367 modifies the rules for unit owners associations regarding native vegetation. The bill ensures that unit owners can plant and maintain native vegetation on their lawns, as long as it is kept free of weeds, invasive species, and trash, and does not interfere with public areas or neighboring properties. Unit owners associations can still set reasonable rules for native vegetation, but these cannot hinder proper maintenance, including height restrictions. The bill does not apply to common areas or properties where unit owners lack landscaping authority.
