Architectural Control Information

Exterior Modifications Require Approval! Painting, Maintenance and Improvements

General Information

Please note that changes to the exterior of your property require architectural approval. Please do not replace your roof, paint your home, add a fence, or do any other alterations without completing the proper form and submitting it to Homeowner Management Services. Items that are installed without proper approval can be subject to removal and/or fines.

The association makes the decision as to which changes are approved; however, all communication flows through HMS.

Please visit www.HMS-inc.net/modifications to view a short video on the modification request process and for answers to frequently asked questions. Thank you for your cooperation.

How to submit an application: 

  • Complete the Application for Modification form and gather all supporting documentation.

  • Examples of supporting documentation include photos, measurements, details on material, paint chips, and paint color (manufacturer and number). 

  • In general, the more details that you include with your application, the faster your request will be able to be reviewed. 

  • Submit the information to HMS by email, mail, fax, or online. See the details at the bottom of the Application for Modification form.


It is the responsibility of every owner and tenant to follow the rules, regulations, and guidelines when it comes to architectural control within the community. Although this page represents a comprehensive list of most potential items and the standards that apply, keep in mind that some items require written approval from the Board of Directors.
