Q: What are the rules for flying a removable American Flag?

A: On July 24, 2005 President Bush, signed into law the Freedom to Display the American Flag Act which allows homeowners in community associations the right to fly a single, reasonably sized, removable American Flag on the resident's own property. The Act gives community associations the right to establish appropriate limitations on the size and locations of flags and flag poles in their communities. The measure also states that the flag must be displayed in accordance with the Federal Flag Code. Additional information regarding the flying of an American Flag can be found in the Community's Design Covenants.
