Architectural Control Committee (ACC) Review Request

HOA architectural requests are formal submissions that homeowners must send to their association before making any changes that impact the common elements of a property. The requests give the Board or Architectural Control Committee (ACC) a chance to review the proposed modification & determine if it meets the community standards and guidelines.

Typical condominium architectural review requests involve modifications to the exterior, structural elements, or surrounding common elements of the unit. Approval first must be acquired to ensure structural integrity and aesthetic consistency is maintained. Common requests include patio/balcony enclosures or railings, new window/door installations, balcony floor coverings, satellite dish installation, and interior renovations that affect shared walls, plumbing, or electrical systems. 

Common Condominium Architectural Requests

• Balcony and Patio Modifications: Installation of awnings, railings, privacy screens, floor tiles, or artificial turf on common element patios and balconies.

• Door and Window Replacements: Replacing entrance doors, patio doors, or windows with different materials, colors, or styles.

• Interior Structural Changes: Moving walls, upgrading flooring (e.g., changing from carpet to hardwood), or modifying plumbing and electrical lines that affect other units.

• Structural Additions: Installing new hardwired light fixtures or ceiling fans.

• Security Features: Installation of smart doorbells, security cameras, or cameras on the exterior or door.

Prior to performing modifications, homeowners must submit an application for approval by the Board of Directors or ACC. Written approval provided by the Association must be received before the start of a project. A response from the Board typically is provided within thirty (30) days following receipt of the request.
