Dear Residents:
For homeowners seeking approval of changes or improvements to their property, there is now a fee that homeowners pay to file an ARC request.
An ARC request, or Architectural Review Committee request, is a formal submission made by a homeowner to their Homeowners Association (HOA) for approval of changes or improvements to their property. This process is designed to ensure that any modifications align with the community’s aesthetic standards and regulations.
Typically, an ARC request may include:
- Description of the Proposed Changes: Details about what the homeowner intends to do, such as adding a deck, changing exterior paint colors, or installing a fence.
- Plans and Specifications: Drawings, sketches, or photographs that illustrate the proposed changes, along with any relevant materials or colors.
- Compliance with HOA Guidelines: A statement or evidence that the proposed changes adhere to the HOA’s rules and regulations.
- Submission Form: Many HOAs have specific forms that need to be filled out for the request.
Once submitted, the ARC will review the request, considering factors like aesthetics, property values, and compliance with community standards. They will then approve, deny, or request modifications to the proposal. Homeowners are required to wait for approval before proceeding with any work.
If you are seeking approval of changes or improvements to your property, the first step is to contact Real/Manage. Please feel free to use the RealManage website link below:
