Thinking of making changes to your property? The Gulf Trace HOA Covenants give the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) authority to regulate the use and appearance of the exterior of a home/lot to assure harmony of external design to the surrounding lots/homes. No exterior additions or alterations may be started until approved in writing by the ACC. A homeowner runs the risk of having an unapproved change reversed because it does not meet the deed restrictions of the Gulf Trace HOA Covenants. This may result in legal action and associated fees to the homeowner.
To avoid legal actions or associated fees for unapproved changes, an Architectural Change Request Form should be completed by the homeowner and submitted for approval directly to the Architectural Control Committee. After submitting your ACC Request Form, please allow up to thirty days for written approval.
The HOA specifications for many projects are listed on the Rules and Regulations page of the website. Changes or additions needing approval include, but are not limited to:
- Exterior painting or staining, the same color or a change to house body, trim, door, roof tile, driveway and/or walkways.
- Roof replacement
- Landscaping updates, hedge and/or tree planting or removal
- Fence, wall, concrete curbing, fountain, or shed installation
- Mailbox and/or post, flag pole and basketball hoop type and location
- Solar panels, satellite dishes and antenna location
- Storm shutters, security bars, grilles, grates, front entrance enclosure, garage door screen installation
PAINT OPTIONS WHEN REQUESTING TO PAINT YOUR HOME
There are many HOA approved color options that a homeowner may use to paint the exterior of their home. Please refer to these Sherwin-Williams color options when making a request to paint your home. You may also have Lowes or Home Depot create an exact match of these colors for you if you choose to use them to supply paint.
A book of approved paint scheme colors is available in the Community. Current contact information to check out the book is located on the ACC Request Form.
