Planning exterior work on your home?

A friendly reminder: 

Anyone contemplating permanent work on their homes that involves, but is not limited to, such things as replacing windows, roofs, and decks; changing shutter-and-door colors, fencing, or permanent outdoor lighting fixtures; adding sunrooms, access ramps, storm doors, and so forth is required to apply for prior approval.

The approval process, which needs to be completed before any such work begins, is a simple one and has worked well for more than 27 years.

1. Download a copy of the application form from this website, fill it out, and submit it to a member of the Architectural Review Committee (chairman Tom Savchik, Dick Harte, Bill Dowd).

2. The Committee will review the application and make a "yes" or "no" recommendation to the THCA Board for a final decision. (In some instances the Committee may request additional information from the applicant, and/or inform neighbors of the proposed project before making its finding.)

3. Under our rules, the Committee and Board have a total of 30 days to act on the application, even though traditionally they have moved swiftly to accommodate applicants. 

These are the main points, but there are other aspects to the process you can read in your "owner's manual."
