ARCHITECTURE – MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR PROPERTY
One of the most important parts of living in an HOA (and that likely has the most direct impact on homeowners) is the idea of architectural control. What that phrase means is the need for owners to obtain approval from the HOA for modifications that they want to make to their property. This is standard language in the CC&R’s across just about every HOA in the state of Oregon. Section 6 in the CC&R’s requires owners to get approval from the “Architectural Committee” before they begin work on a modification or installation to the property.
