Kentucky overrides HOA documents in only a narrow area. KRS 381.800 voids any governing-document provision that bans political yard signs, and that override applies to all planned communities even if recorded before 2023. Kentucky has no statute stopping an HOA from restricting solar panels; it recognizes only voluntary solar easements under KRS 381.200.
Most Kentucky HOA-versus-public-policy conflicts are left to the declaration, but the political-sign statute is an express override. KRS 381.800 states the governing documents 'shall not prohibit the outdoor display of political yard signs,' allowing only reasonable rules on placement, size, and manner, and subsection (2) makes 'any provision of any existing governing document of a planned community in contravention of subsection (1) ... void.' Signs may go up 30 days before and stay 7 days after an election. On solar energy, Kentucky has no HOA-override statute: KRS 381.200 authorizes only voluntary 'solar easements' negotiated between property owners, so an HOA may still restrict panels through its CC&Rs. No statewide law bars HOA limits on flags, antennas, or other displays.
No specific statutory penalty schedule. An owner whose political sign is barred can rely on KRS 381.800 to void the offending provision and seek to enjoin enforcement. Solar disputes turn on the recorded declaration, since no statute overrides HOA solar restrictions.
