 Architectural Control
Committee (ACC) FAQ’s
If you are thinking about making any improvements or changes to the
exterior of your home, pre-approval must be obtained PRIOR to starting
any exterior project. Whether it is installing a shed or patio cover, removing
or planting a tree, changing the paint color of the house, changing the
front door, changing the fence, etc. don’t assume the project will be in
compliance. Over the years, amendments to the DCE&R’s (Declaration of
Covenants, Easements & Restrictions) have been made and certain criteria
are different than what they were originally.
Q: For what projects do I need to get written approval from the ACC?
A: Sheds, sun rooms, porches, porch roofing, patio/driveway extensions,
                                                                                            AVOID THE LINE!

fences, roofs, roof vents, landscaping changes (see below), sport courts,
basketball goals, exterior painting and staining, additions/modifications to
the residence and most other non-temporary changes to a lot or residence.
Q: Do I need to get approval for my landscaping changes?
A: You do NOT need ACC approval:
     • If you are replanting/replacing undesired, damaged, or dead plants            It might be time to renew your amenity cards
         with like or similar plants of the same variety.
     • If you are updating/replacing seasonal plants.
                                                                                     if they have expired. If they are, make sure to

     • If you are planting in easements or drainage swales.
Q: Do I need a permit from the City of Fort Worth if I already got
written approval from the ACC?
A: Building, encroachment and other permits from the city are
often required in addition to approval from the ACC. Building and
encroachment permits may be required for new construction, remodeling,
repair and additions, roofs, encroachments, swimming pools, retaining
walls, borders, arbors, pergolas, gazebos, sheds, signage, to plant or
remove trees from the easement. The burden is on the owner to inquire
whether a city permit is required.
Q: What do I need to submit to get written approval for my
application?
A: A completed Modification Request Form, a detailed description
of your project, any plans, drawings, pictures, materials, dimensions,
specifications necessary for the ACC to understand the scope of your
project and a copy of your plot plan/improvement survey showing your                    NOON ON JANUARY 1ST
