What is Architectural Control?
Architectural control in Highland Pointe is specified by the covenants to which all homeowners are bound, regardless of whether or not the homeowner is an association member. If you plan to make any changes to your property that are visible to one or more neighbors, even if you are not an association member, you are still bound by your covenants to have those changes approved by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Consult the Highland Pointe covenants to see if your changes are allowed.
Architectural Control Committee
