Jon Hansen has lived in Woodstock's Summerchase subdivision for a decade.
The disabled army veteran and former law enforcement officer has flown an American flag outside his Summer Point Drive home since moving in.

A month ago - Hansen says he replaced A wooden post with a more prominent pole for his stars and stripes.
But he says the 16 foot tall fixture isn't flying well with the Summerchase Homeowners Association.

Hansen says, "According to their rules, it's because I am installing a permanent fixture without prior approval... even though there was a post there already."

Hansen says there is nothing in the HOA covenant that mentions a flagpole.

"I thought since it was a replacement, that I wouldn't have to do it, but I had to turn in a form to get approval."

He says that request was denied. And Hansen received notice - he has to pay up.

"Fines have been levied against you totaling 300 dollars - continue at 25 dollars a day per violation. It's either remove it, or pay the fees. "

Hansen says he's not paying those fees. And is willing to take his flagpole fight to court.
