Architectural & Project Approvals

📐
What requires approval Any change to the exterior of your property requires the Board's written approval before you begin — anything that alters its appearance, footprint, or the structures on your lot. Association-wide, this includes things such as new construction and additions, other buildings such as garages and sheds, fences, swimming pools, solar energy systems, boat docks, dredging, and any landscaping or construction in the Shore Area. Routine maintenance and like-for-like repair or replacement, using the same materials, colors, and dimensions, do not require approval. If you are unsure which side of that line your project falls on, ask us before you start.
⏱️
Timing and penalties Plans must be submitted at least 30 days before your intended start date (30–60 days for Shore Area and shoreline projects). Work may not begin until written approval has been received. Proceeding without approval carries a $1,000 fine and may require reversal of completed work at the member's expense.
🏘️
Your subdivision may have its own rules Many other exterior projects are governed by your subdivision's covenants rather than the CLA, and requirements vary from one subdivision to the next. If you're unsure whether your project needs approval — or whose approval you need — the parcel map below shows which association each property belongs to. When in doubt, contact us before you begin. A quick inquiry can prevent a costly problem later.

Parcel Map

Find your property to see which association it belongs to. Colours show whether a parcel is CLA only or also part of CHA, Countryside Oaks, SteepleChase, or Camden Trace — which determines whose covenants apply to your project.
