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.
