The Proper Process for Home Improvements when you purchase a new home, it’s natural to be excited about personalizing the space and making it reflect your unique style and preferences. However, it’s essential to follow the correct process to ensure that any changes or improvements you make are compliant with local regulations and community guidelines. Failing to take the necessary steps to get approval beforehand can result in unwanted consequences, such as hearings, fines, and even the potential removal of unapproved modifications. By understanding and adhering to the proper approval process, you can avoid these issues and enjoy your home improvements without any setbacks. Do I need to submit an Architectural Approval Application? If the violation requires in-kind repair / replacement, an Architectural Approval Application is NOT required to be submitted. However, if the violation is for a new improvement or change to an existing feature of the property (including landscaping), an Architectural Approval Application MUST be submitted with a plot plan and Neighbor Advisement Form. Please refer to the Documents section of your Resident Portal to view the Architectural Guidelines, Procedures, and Forms.Thank you for taking the time to review the documents associated with your community that you may have not had an opportunity to review when you purchased your home.If you need assistance, please feel free to contact us at https://actionlife.com/contact.
