A condo association told a North Dakota man to remove an American flag from his property because it makes too much noise in the wind.
“It’s something I’ve always wanted when I owned a home,” homeowner Andrew Almer told Fox News. “Having an American flag in the yard is just an American thing — that pride to have.”
Almer said he is now facing $200 daily fines if he leaves his flag up on the Fargo property.
“The first letter I got, I laughed, because I just thought, ‘This is ridiculous,’” he said, adding he received the first letter in January. “You cannot tell me somebody is complaining about a flapping flag in the wind.”

“When I got this second letter, I thought, ‘Oh my God, she’s serious,” he said.
Almer said he might be receiving the letters because his upstairs neighbor is the condo association president.
The Federal Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005 states homeowner associations can’t restrict owners from displaying the American flag on their property.

Almer is sticking by his decision to fly the flag and says he won’t back down despite the letters.
“It’s going to stay up,” he said. “And if I need to, we’ll take it to court, but hopefully it doesn’t have to get that far and there can be some resolution that’s peaceful.”
The property management group of the complex did not immediately return the Washington Examiner’s request for comment.
