What color can I paint my house?

A long, long time ago, the Developer set a standard that homes must be an “earth tone” color and require HOA approval for a house to be repainted.  When a homeowner completed an “ARC” form (Association Request for Change), they were provided with a short list of color codes to choose from.  It was simple until paint companies often discontinued paint names and codes, leading to confusion about what the homeowner can use.  Currently, the HOA process for approving an “ARC” relies on the opinion of the board member(s), while another option is to create an ARC committee.  The committee would be responsible for reviewing/ approving/ denying all ARC requests while following a standard.  ARC requests should be processed within 3 days or less to avoid stressful delays.  They would keep an updated list of paint codes and have a good understanding of landscaping, so a purple house with polka-dots and a lizard sanctuary in the front yard doesn’t slip through the cracks!

If you feel you would be great on an ARC committee, a pleasure to work with, and work for absolutely no compensation, please email me at BriarwoodNaples@gmail.com.

Remember, If you wish to change your landscape or any exterior change you need to get HOA approval first.
