It varies from area to area.
Here it's stated in the ordinances, no permit is needed 80 feet and
under. (A ham a block over tells me its been raised to 100' since mine
went up). Over 80' (or 100' now) they require the installation be
engineered, but in my case they were willing to go by the ROHN book.
They will not give you a letter, nor will they issue a permit if none is
needed. In the past several have said they would get a permit for the
installation any way which is why I mention that.
It depends on the location and the board!

That is the important clause and they can make it mean anything they
want. If you have a neighbor who doesn't like antennas they become
noxious the catch *might* be the way it's worded.
I'd certainly get a letter from the HOA clarifying and specifically
permitting your tower(s) and make the sale contingent on that letter.
As Bill said, YMMV
