Architectural Change Requests

Welcome to the Architectural Change Requests (ACR) page for Homesteads at The Harvest. This page is designed to help homeowners understand the ACR process, determine if they need to submit an ACR form, and provide access to submit or download the ACR form. Our goal is to maintain the aesthetic and structural integrity of our community while allowing homeowners the freedom to enhance their properties.

Do I Need to Submit an ACR?

Homeowners must submit an Architectural Change Request for any modifications to the exterior of their property or common areas. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Structural changes (e.g., building additions, large decks)

  • Fences

  • Sheds

  • Significant landscaping changes (e.g., large gardens, tree removal)

  • Exterior paint color changes

  • Installation of solar panels

  • Major renovations or improvements

You do not need to submit an ACR for minor aesthetic changes or temporary structures, such as:

  • Minor landscaping (e.g., planting flowers, small garden beds)

  • Seasonal decorations

  • Temporary structures like bounce houses or tents (up to 14 days)

  • Small decks (under 500 square feet and within existing boundaries)
