What is Architectural Review?

Architectural Review is the process by which all exterior home improvement and maintenance projects are reviewed and approved for compliance with the VAT community design standards. Handbook pages 18-26, 31, 32.

Who serves on the Architectural Review Committee (ARC)?

The ARC consists of 3 professional color consultants, 1 professional construction and design consultant, 1 homeowner representative, and 1 Board representative to verify document compliance.

How do I know which exterior projects require a Request to Review application to be submitted?

The VAT Handbook Design Guidelines, pages 23-34, indicate which guidelines require a Request to Review application to be submitted. The guidelines are listed in alphabetical order by project description.

How long does it take to review an application?

Applications are reviewed in order of receipt. Providing a complete application, along with the checklist requirements and the signed agreement, will expedite the review process.  After all required information is received, please allow up to 30 days for the review process.  Please consider this when scheduling contractors.
