This guideline will help define the architectural standards established for the community. These standards are designed to clarify issues regarding exterior modifications to any lot or residence. If there are any discrepancies between the standards and the Protective Covenants, the Covenants prevail.
Any exterior changes to a house or lot, whether temporary or permanent, must be approved in writing prior to beginning a project. Residents should submit a written request:
Oakwind Homeowners Association, Inc.
c/o All-In-One Community Management, Inc.
