Your governing documents determine the number of pets allowed. Yes, these guidelines outweigh other guidelines, including those of the county.
Best practices dictate that you work with your association to keep the pets you have when they change the rules lowering the number, for example. If, however, you acquired a pet that then exceeds the number of pets each owner can keep, you may be required to divest yourself of a number of pets to maintain the limit allowed by your governing documents.
Service animals, however, are governed by a different set of guidelines.

Does the HOA charge you for washing cars?
There is no standard -- every association and its governing documents is unique. If the HOA offers this service -- which is unlikely -- they can charge you for it. You could be charged for water use, if your faucet is individually metered; they could fine you for washing your car and wasting water -- if that is made clear in the rules and you have been given an opportunity to be heard in a violation hearing; or other. Ask around and discover how you might go about washing your car on association property -- or how you are best advised to go to a commercial car wash.
