Architectural Changes

Our Neighborhood Is Lovely By Design

The Point community’s covenants, conditions and restrictions (CCRs) require owners to obtain prior written approval for changes or improvements to the exterior of their property. This includes painting a different color, installing a fence or basketball goal, removing one or more trees (whether alive, dead or diseased), adding a planting bed or making other significant landscape changes just to provide a few examples. The application process will be smoother if your change is consistent with The Point’s CCRs (Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) and Architectural and Landscape Guidelines.

Architectural Guidelines

Please Note

In the past, there was a separate application form for tree removal requests, but they were consolidated and now all applications are submitted on one form (even for dead or diseased trees).

Submit your application to our management company.

Architectural Change Request Form

The Process

Effective January 1, 2015, a fee of $150 must be included with your Architectural Change Request for all major projects (e.g., outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, room additions and swimming pools and spas). All other Architectural Change Requests are free.

A $1,000 escrow deposit is required prior to commencement of certain major projects (i.e. home additions, swimming pools and spas). The deposit is returned following the conclusion of the project, provided that there is no damage to community property, streets, or special clean-up requirements. Our management company conducts weekly drives through the neighborhood to identify instances of non-compliance with our CCRs and Architectural and Landscape Guidelines. This includes starting a project that constitutes an architectural change without first obtaining the required pre-approval.
