Pretty much. They try to make sure "rogue homeowners" don't lower the property values in neighborhoods.
A lot of them tend to go a bit too far, though, particularly in Texas. I remember reading about someone getting fined because he had a pickup truck in a "luxury car neighborhood." He was told to park in the garage, but because the truck was so large, it wouldn't fit. He was charged fines monthly.
