Overview

The Architectural Committee (ACC) or Board of Directors reviews all exterior modification requests to ensure projects align with community design standards.

Review Steps

  1. Submission: Homeowners submit their request through the PayHOA portal, including photos or drawings.

  2. Initial Review: Management verifies the form is complete and forwards it to the committee.

  3. Committee Evaluation: The ACC reviews based on governing documents, design standards, and aesthetics.

  4. Decision: The request is approved, denied, or returned for more information.

  5. Notification: Homeowners are notified through the portal once a decision is made.

Timelines

Most reviews are completed within 30 days of a complete submission. Incomplete requests may take longer.
