Florida has a very broad Public Records Law. Most written communications to or from State and Local Officials regarding State or Local business are public records available to the public and media upon request. Your email communications may therefore be subject to public disclosure.

Architectural Review

The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is comprised of volunteer Village residents serving on behalf of the Developer, the District, and all residents. The Mission of the ARC is to assist in maintaining the high quality and consistency of the aesthetic beauty and design of the residences and home sites found throughout the Villages.

The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is responsible for approving any and all alterations, changes or modifications to the property and home as built by the Developer. This requirement for prior approval includes, but is not limited to: porch or patio enclosures, canopies, awnings, garage screens, additional concrete, coloring of walks and/or driveways, landscaping, and modifications to previously approved plans. An application with a Site Plan must be submitted and approval granted before work is started.

Copies of the ARC Home/Property Alteration Application may be obtained at the Community Standards office or under “Forms & Publications”. The application may be completed online. After you complete the application, print it out and drop it off at our office, mail, fax, or email it. All applications that are received prior to 4:30 p.m. on Friday will be reviewed and available by the following Thursday afternoon after 1:00 p.m.

As a Deed Restricted Community, all modifications to the exterior of your home and property (including landscaping) must be approved in advance by the Architectural Review Committee.
