historic preservation properties
What kind of political system would you call this:?

a village of 355 inhabitants, 20 of which have together purchased half (3) of the historic buildings for preservation, etc.
This group forms the “town council”. They meet regularly and decide rules for the town dictatorally. Today I received a notice from them saying that my dog must be ATTACHED ON MY PROPERTY! of three acres. (he stays on my property on his own without being tied up and is the most gentle creature).
It seems several octogenarians on this council are anti-pets.

Authoritarian. But if you live in the US it is illegal to have a town council that is not elected..if they have the power to enact laws.

you can sue in state court to compell an election…but if they were elected and you didn’t vote…you know what to do in a few years.
