A Las Vegas military veteran is pushing back against his homeowners’ association (HOA) after reportedly being cited for displaying vintage fire hydrants tied to his military service and decades-long firefighting career.Brent Saba — a fire inspector and firefighter — said his HOA recently ordered him to remove three non-operational hydrants placed in front of his home. The association claimed the items violate neighborhood rules governing front and side yard landscaping, according to local outlet KSNV News 3 Las Vegas.Saba said the hydrants, including one he brought back from Iraq during a deployment, have been on display since he moved into the neighborhood over a year ago without prior issue."This hydrant right here, I brought this fire hydrant home from Iraq," Saba said. "I served over in Iraq for about a year, year and a half or so. So that one there was a special piece."THE US HOUSING MARKETS THAT ARE SEEING THE LARGEST DROPS IN RENT PRICESHe added that many of his neighbors support the display, according to KSNV News 3."How are they going to tell the guy with over 30 years in the fire service, you got to get rid of your fire hydrants? I mean, it's not like it's clutter," Saba said. "It's not like it's defacing anything. … My neighbors all even think it looks good."After receiving the citation, Saba said the HOA instructed him to submit an application to keep the hydrants.Despite providing written support from neighbors, Saba's request was denied. He said he later received additional communication suggesting further homeowner approval might be required, KSNV News 3 reported."I'm a fire inspector and when I write up a violation on a building, imagine if I wrote up something that didn't even apply to what the write up was," he said. "I would look like a fool."RICH CALIFORNIANS FLOCK TO LAS VEGAS HOUSING MARKET AS LAWMAKERS CONSIDER WEALTH TAXThe HOA has since informed Saba he may keep the hydrants, he confirmed Saturday to FOX Business."I mean this HOA in this neighborhood is out of control," Saba said. "… The HOA thought that they could bully me and manipulate me."The dispute has left Saba reconsidering his future in the neighborhood, according to KSNV News 3."It was just kind of for me was the last straw," he said. "And I was like, 'I'm not gonna go down without a fight.' I'm hoping things actually improve for this neighborhood."MEL GIBSON… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Hollywood Talent Giant Draws Suitors Amid Epstein Fallout

- Missed the April 15 tax deadline? Here’s what experts say you should doIf you missed the April 15 tax deadline, penalties and interest have already begun to accrue – but there are still actions you can take to limit the impact.Experts say taxpayers should file immediately, even if they can’t pay their full bill, and pay as much as they can to avoid the steepest penalties. Those who still owe can apply for a payment plan to manage the remaining balance.The IRS says most applicants receive immediate approval or denial when applying for a payment plan online.TAX EXTENSION FILERS BEWARE: PAYMENTS ARE STILL DUE TO THE IRS BY APRIL 15"You can still file your return and at least eliminate the failure-to-file penalty, which can reach up to 25% of any tax owed, with interest compounding," said Mark Steber, chief tax officer at Jackson Hewitt Tax Services.The IRS can impose multiple penalties, including failure-to-file, failure-to-pay and underpayment penalties, which are assessed separately and can accrue interest daily, Steber said.He added that consulting a tax professional early can help taxpayers navigate their options and potentially reduce the total cost.NEW TRUMP ACCOUNTS PITCHED AS TAX-SEASON GATEWAY TO BUILDING WEALTH"In many cases, the total cost – including taxes, penalties, interest and professional fees – ends up being higher than if you had sought help earlier," Steber said."The worst thing you can do is ignore the deadline," he added. "Many people think they’ll deal with it later, but that can lead to mounting penalties and unnecessary financial risk."THE SIMPLE TAX HABIT THAT COULD SAVE YOU THOUSANDS OVER YOUR LIFETIMEFiling as soon as possible and exploring IRS payment options can help taxpayers regain control of their situation and minimize added costs.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERESteber said taxpayers should view filing as part of a long-term financial strategy, not just a once-a-year obligation."Your tax return is one of your largest financial transactions each year," he said. "Giving it proper attention can pay dividends over time." [TheTopNews] Read More.9 hours ago
