Why We Have Architectual Guidelines
One of their most important duties is to create and enforce architectural guidelines for the community. These guidelines are designed to ensure that all homes within the community are aesthetically pleasing and in line with the overall design.
Architectural guidelines serve a number of important purposes. They help ensure that the community maintains its value and appeal over time. This is important because a beautiful and well-maintained community is more desirable. This will attract more buyers when it comes time to sell. The standards have been carefully developed to reflect a balance between individual rights and the good of the entire association.
Architectural guidelines also help protect homeowners from making costly mistakes. Just as any major home improvement project, renovations, and additions to the home must meet certain standards in order to be approved. Architectural guidelines are designed to ensure that these projects are done in a way that will not detract from the home’s value, or the overall look of the community.
Finally, architectural guidelines can help to create a sense of unity within the community. When everyone follows the same guidelines, it creates a consistent look for the community. This allows for a sense of pride in the neighborhood. In summary, architectural guidelines are an important part of any HOA.
