Architectural Guidelines and Requests

What is an Architectural Guideline?

An architectural guideline is a rule that applies to the appearance of an owner's lot or the exterior of his or her home. Development of architectural guidelines should begin with a review of the governing documents to determine in what areas the Board can allow a change. Usually, a community association's declatarion, CC&Rs, or master deed provides for architectural changes. It is in the community's best interests for a Board to establish written architectural guidelines for two reasons: (1) Written guidelines indicate to owners what types of changes will be allowed under normal circumstances. (2) Written guidelines are a way to avoid claims of arbitrary or selective treatment of owners.

*All modifications being made to the exterior of your home must go through the Architectural Review process
