And, it you don't - then what - are you fined????
Best to call ARC and ask them. You will get many different opinions on this site and you want to be sure. Over the years I've been here have read horror stories, folks have had to rip out rock walls, neighbors reported neighbor for not getting approvals, drainage issues and so on. In the few homes we've owned we always submit our plan and depending on what we've done, generally get a response in a week or so. Had one neighbor say "you didn't get approval did you" - we added landscaping rocks, etc......and I was happy to say "yes we did, do you want to see my paperwork." Above all protect yourself and those who may buy from you if you ever decide to move.
