AS Donald said his HOA doesnt have these requirements. But I wanted to make clear some HOAs completely regulate the everything on your property and exterior of you home. (So the point mute but wanted to clear up that conversation you had)
This includes the color of your home and any changes to it, right down to the color you paint your front door and/or need approval or any changes to the front door.
Also as in our new HOA community, the rules are quite extensive, for example.
The builder has to submit and have approved the landscaper plans for every home his builds. Some build a couple hundred homes at a time and the builder will get 3 plans approved for the landscaper to use once the home is built and landscaping put in. Simply in case certain species are not available at a give time the landscaper can revert to a plan where they are available.
Plans detail every species of shrubs on
all four sides of the home and all species of trees and their exact location placement on the property, if you make any changes to these original installed plantings you need approval by submitting a site plan.
Of course other restrictions apply as well, including vehicles parked in your driveway must be in running condition (ex no flat tires) of course no trailers etc.
Right down to your boundary/property line. Ex. Fencing must be approved of a certain type and can not be placed on the property line, it must be placed one foot into your property from the property line.
You provide all your own property maintenance and restrictions on how high your grass can grow etc.
With all the above said, even though we have active enforcement most reasonable stuff is left alone unless someone files a complaint. Ex. some people naturally when coming form up north LOVE to plant palm trees, most dont know you need approval but you wont be bothered unless someone complains. You can not with any planting block your neighbors views of any lakes or ponds.
The community is surveyed monthly and violations issued for blatant items, believe it or not, one of those items are the installed decorative light poles on your property, every home has to be built with one. You are responsible to replace the light bulb should it burn out and that is one item people are contacted about *LOL*
Definitely nothing other than registered working vehicles in your driveway, no work allowed on your vehicles in your driveway other than common maintenance, no on street parking. There are other restrictions for your yard when backing the gold courses or ponds/lakes.
