This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff
United States
HOAs suck
Today, I got a notice from the housing association, if I don't water my lawn I will be charged a $150 fine. Yet if I do water my lawn the city with charge me a $150 fine because of the drought. FML

Report the housing association to the city? They probably can't be telling people to do that right now.

There is a service, I think it's in Los Angeles, that will spray paint your dead lawn green again. You don't have to waste water and you make the housing association happy. I don't remember how much it cost, but you should look into that, OP. If there isn't a service near you, you can always see how they do it and tackle it yourself.

Xeriscaping. Replace your brown grass with a tasteful arrangement of native palmetto, cactus, hardy shrubs, impressive rocks, and smooth sand. It looks great in dry places and takes zero water. Hell, you'll never even have to mow again. You can sell your lawnmower. That's obviously going to be more than $150... but it's a long term solution and you'll eventually save it back on water, especially at (I'm guessing here) California or West Texas prices.

DO WHAT THE CITY SAYS, KEEP ALL DOCUMENTS FROM THE ASSOCIATION. THE CITY SUPERSEDES THE ASSOCIATION.

This is technically illegal since they're forcing you to perform an illegal action. Contact a lawyer (or just the police station) and they'll know how to sort it out.
