ACC
Are you planning on making any
changes to the outside of your house?
The Association has governing regulations concerning additions or changes to the exterior of any premise. The regulations encompass the installation of landscaping and fences; adding a patio cover, building a patio or pet enclosure, color of paint, etc.. You should review the CC&Rs and the adopted Guidelines to determine the exact requirements that will need approval. The Architectural Review Committee must approve all exterior changes. Applications and plans should be submitted to HOA.FALLCREEK@GMAIL.COM.
Architectural Control Committee
IMPORTANT: Violations to our Covenants and Bylaws are taken very seriously by the HOA. Failure to submit an ACC request, or proceeding without approval will cause further action by the HOA. Be advised that violations not corrected will result in court proceedings.
​
Remember, some outdoor projects (eg, sprinklers, room additions, pool, driveway modifications) require permits and inspection from the City of Garland and some major indoor home improvement projects may require City permits. Please check with the City of Garland.
