I know this is more of a petty answer, but if the head of your HOA lives in the HOA and you know where, have your dog deliberately shit in their yard if there are no security cameras. Early in the morning, be sure to take pictures as proof there was a dog in their grass at some point.
If enough people in the area start doing it, the rule will either change or you can start complaining like Hell that the head is of HOA isn't following the rules and hope that changes things. If not, and you are willing to be locked away, arson on the HOA owners' home (if they live in the HOA) isn't a bad option either, assuming you start the fire in their bedroom so they can burn to death.
Salt is another one that destroys a lawn. And ground clear.
ah the Roman style. nice!
Unethical LPT is THAT way. Also, you forgot the piss disc
You say you have a tiny backyard. What’s on the other side of the fence from your backyard?
Paved alley, then other garages
Yeah, that sucks. I was going to say to just throw the poop over the fence. But, that’s probably a no go.
@iluminae raised platform with fake grass.
something like this seems doable in theory but without describing the community let's just say there is no spot to put this or any other 'dedicated dog spot', other than existing house's lawns or the one 40'x40' area which is the community green - and that totally is not going to happen.
Ban HOA's. I really don't understand why there allowed to exist.
Check to make sure that the HOA actually has the power to do this. As a land owner you are bound to follow the covenants that run with the land, but you are only actually bound to follow those covenants. You don't have to do random stuff just because the HOA board or even a majority of the HOA voters say so, you only actually have to do what's in the covenants.
Unless the covenants say that you agree to follow a bunch of dog-related rules to be defined later, you almost certainly are allowed to park your dog in your own front yard or in that of any consenting neighbor.
Move out.
Yeah, I suggest you go back in time and smack yourself upside the head for even thinking about moving somewhere with an HOA.
Not ground covering, but new ground. If you want a say, then you have to take on personal responsibility. Or move. Either way, you choose to not look behind the curtain. Enjoy Stepford.
HOAs often impose yard upkeep rules on owners. I have a buddy whose front yard grass keeps dying from dog walkers letting their dogs pee in his yard, and then as an insult to injury, the HOA cites him.
It'd be ideal if your neighborhood had a dog park established as an alternative, but honestly, this rule is on the more agreeable side as far as HOAs go.

If you choose to live under an unnecessary authority, shouldn't you follow it?
That being said, HOAs are a microcosm of the problems and methods of the state, which I recommend abolishing.
