Architectural Rules

Living in Highland Village means that there are some rules about what changes can happen to/on your Lot.

Exterior Changes

If you are changing the exterior of your house or yard, contact us to determine if you need pre-approval BEFORE starting work.
If you're repainting trim or doors, or replacing siding or roofing, and are using THE SAME COLOR SCHEME that is on your house now, or if you are having your blacktop driveway seal-coated, you do not need prior approval.

The Association has 30 days from the date of confirmed receipt of your signed Architectural Approval Form to reply to a proposed architectural change.

Mailbox guidelines
