Adding
Something New

The architectural review committee must approve homeowners before they make any changes to their property. This is required in community documents. To avoid any problems with large-scale purchases, it is important to get approval early on in the project planning process.

 You can submit your design plan documents down below. A representative from the ARC department will contact you to discuss the next steps, and any additional community requirements.

Repairing
Any Damage

Even with regular maintenance, the Florida weather can cause damage to your fence and exterior of your home. Everyone in the community should seek approval from the ARC to repair any damage that occurs using the CC&Rs (your community documents).

Even if you’re using the same colors and materials, and you want to replace them in the same location on your property and home, you must submit an ARC form. You will need to request approval for any changes. Before submitting, make sure to review your documents and CC&Rs and include all necessary items.
