I have a friend who had a NAZI HOA. They overstepped their bounds and he got a lawyer. He was making improvements to his house that were clearly within his rights to make. My friend (through his lawyer) threatened to hold the board members of the HOA personally accountable for any harrassing actions they initiated. They backed down.
We're in Texas, which is big on property rights (although there has been some alarming erosion of late). Native Texans understand that there is a long tradition here of live-and-let-live and that's why our ancestors came here. Typically the harassing kind of HOA's are filled with folks who have just recently moved to the state. Sure enough, come to find out, my friend's HOA was put together and led by "new Texans." When they found out that their actions toward my friend could cost them personally, they backed down.
In short, you need to get a lawyer.
