njgranny.... actually, fences attached to the house to border around a patio area (or something similar to this) are allowed. I purchased in '06 and our covenants do allow this. I've seen several examples of this. Tasteful, maybe 3 foot high, white picket fence. I'm sure any such design would be required to go thru the deed compliance office. So, despite all the talk about "no fence" it is not an absolute NO. Granted, you cannot construct a fence around your entire property for all the reasons that have been discussed on this site, but, these small fenced areas could be a solution for small dogs.
I've never heard any discussion on the process to change the covenants...they are different all over TV.
