About

Noah’s Architectural Control Committee

What are architectural guidelines? Architectural guidelines are a set of standards for architectural or exterior property modifications or improvements that homeowners must follow. The ARC bases its reviews on these written guidelines, which you can usually find within your association’s governing documents.

But, no two associations have the same set of guidelines. For instance, one HOA might only allow homeowners to paint their houses in certain shades of brown, while another might allow for more variety. It is essential to check your own architectural guidelines to learn what you can and can’t do with your property.

Another good example is solar panels. Because many solar panels don’t coincide with HOA architectural committee guidelines, some have taken steps to ban them totally. But, a number of states have already enacted solar access laws protecting homeowners’ rights to generate solar energy.

Some federal and state laws, though, prohibit or limit HOAs from certain architectural restrictions. For instance, according to the FCC’s OTARD Rule, associations can’t prohibit homeowners from installing satellite dishes or antennas. But, they can regulate things like placement and size.Board and ARC members must always keep up-to-date on the different federal and state laws that might affect the HOA. In doing so, they can safeguard the association from potential liability. Similarly, as a homeowner, you should familiarize yourself with these laws. This way, you can protect your rights.
