Wow, this will not end.  Lifer should be an attorney.  liens can attached to property by anyone for almost any reason.  The effect of a lien only prevents the sale, transfer or othe action on the property in the probate court/county records.  Having served on a hoa board, violations of covenants can and do result in liens on the piece of property via a fine for whatever amount.  The reasons can be so petty as leaving your trash can out after collection dates where covenant states it will be out of sight by the next day.  Or having a figurine by the front door in violation of the covenants.  Or installing a bedding area too close to the street by 6 inches.  

The effect means if you want to sell the property with existing liens, good luck since the title company will not be able to give clear title. Of course, the power company is a tad more aggressive in the enforcement.  My lake place is governed by a set of HUD rules in addition to the power companies covenants when I purchased the land from a previous power company lease.  

Lifer is correct on his assertions. There’s Superman’s cape and then there the power company temper!  I have seen a sea wall destroyed when in violation.  Pick your poison carefully!
