When you live in a community with a homeowners association (HOA), you’ll likely be familiar with the HOA’s set of rules and regulations. They should be followed to ensure the value of the local properties won’t get affected. This means you’ll need to get the board’s approval before starting any type of home renovation project, be it a deck installation or siding replacement. Otherwise, you’ll be forced to stop what you’re renovating and pay fines.
Your local HOA serves to keep its residents from unknowingly devaluing the area’s property. If you’re planning to build a deck, here’s what you need to do:
Your deck installation will usually require approval first by your local HOA before anything else, even before getting building permits in your area. The first thing you need to do is to get in touch with your local HOA and know what the requirements are for approving your deck installation project.
As part of the requirement, most HOA applications will need you to give full details of all the remodeling projects you’re planning to do. Even if you’re planning to replace your siding or gutters while installing a new deck, it should all be described in detail in your application form and submitted to the HOA’s architectural review board or a similar entity that handles the approval of remodeling projects.
If you’re planning to build a deck, make sure that the details of your project follow the HOA’s architectural guidelines. It may also be part of the board’s requirements to have the project done by a contractor who the board prefers or has adequate knowledge of your local HOA’s rules and regulations. You’ll also need a contractor who can handle applying the needed building permits for your project, so be sure to hire one who you can trust!
