The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) of the Highlands Subdivision Homeowners Association requires that the homeowner request approval from the Board of Directors prior to doing any exterior modifications and/or additions to your home or property.
The review process ensures that property values are maintained and the character of the neighborhood is preserved. Some examples of modifications needing approval are:
- Room Additions
- Decks and fences
- Changes of exterior colors of your home
- Sheds
- Playground Equipment
- Basketball goals
- Satellite dishes
- Major landscaping
- Etc.
Please remember that homeowners are required to submit a plat map with a drawing of where the architecture will be placed with respect to boundary lines, easements, etc. To obtain a plat map, please visit the link below.
