Residential Improvement Guidelines

These Residential Improvement Guidelines are intended to assist homeowners in making landscaping and other exterior improvements to their property. The Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for the HOA requires prior approval of the Architectural Control Committee before any improvement to property involving a residential lot in Homestead in the Willows.

“Improvement to property” is the erection, placement or alteration of any landscaping, building, fence or other structure of any nature on any lot, and includes, without limitation, any change of the grade of property; the construction or installation of any accessory building, patio, pergola, deck, pool or hot tub, play or sporting equipment; the demolition or removal of any building or other improvement; and any change of exterior appearance of a building or other improvement, or landscaping.

In order to assist homeowners, the Board of Directors of Homestead hereby establishes these guidelines and certain pre-approved designs for several types of improvements to property and to exempt certain improvements to property from the requirement for approval. This packet contains the guidelines adopted by the Board with respect to all residential property.

Updates to these guidelines may be found on the Application for Exterior Change page.
