Design Review
Keeping [COMMUNITY NAME] beautiful, together
At [COMMUNITY NAME], we all bring our own tastes and ideas to our homes. The design review process helps make sure those changes — whether architectural, landscape, or site improvements — fit with the community’s character while still allowing personal expression.
Before starting any project, please submit your plans to the [COMMITTEE NAME] for approval. This applies to everything from painting your home, adding a patio cover, or installing solar panels, to updating landscaping or drainage. Reviewing first helps avoid redesigns later and keeps our neighborhood looking its best.
Before you submit your application
Review the [guidelines doc] first.
Reviewing the guidelines will give you more realistic expectations when working with your vendor. Even if your modification meets the guidelines, you still need review and approval before you begin any work.
Plan a realistic timeline.
The [COMMITTEE NAME] has [NUMBER OF DAYS] days from the date a completed application is submitted to review and provide a written response to the homeowner. Complete, clear, and thorough applications can be returned much sooner.
Don't assume approval.
Even if your modification meets the guidelines, you still need approval before you begin work. You may have noticed your neighbor made an exterior modification, but that doesn’t mean it was approved nor that it will work for your home.
Wait for the green light.
It’s much easier to go through the design review process before you make a modification than to have to remove the modification at your own expense.
