• Three Oaks Homeowners Association Declaration of Restrictions (Approved November 2024)

The architectural review committee works with residents and helps them to understand the rules and regulations related to the landscaping, fence, trees and exterior home modifications. The committee is a service to help residents avoid issues with the community rules and guidelines.

“When in doubt, submitting an ARC form can help you avoid any possible issues.”

When making improvements, residents are expected to complete and submit an ARC Form for each project. Example projects that require an ARC form include:

• Installation or Replacement of a Fence

• Installation of Driveway Pavers

• Removal of Trees

• Structural Additions or Changes to a Home
