Q. When
do I have to submit an ACC application for approval of work to be done on my
house or yard?
A. You must apply for approval of any work
planned that affects the exterior appearance of your house or yard, front or
rear. This includes repainting, re-roofing, and fencing. It also includes major
changes to landscaping, such as new beds and trees. Pools and spas also require
approval. There is an ACC application provided in the forms section of this
website.
Q. How
long does it take to get an ACC application approved?
A. Review can take up to one month. Simple
situations, such as repainting with the same color and re-roofing are normally
faster. To avoid delays, be sure that you submit all information and color
samples requested to avoid delays in processing your request. Approval must be
received before work begins or you can be required to undo any work started.
