I don’t know today, after owning the house almost six years, whether there is some sudden compliance issue I am not aware of.

What is needed is an inspection from Community Standards that certifies the home is compliant as sold.
It would be fair but CS isn’t going to put that effort out there with such a small staff.

But one can take pics and stop by the office to ask if these were arc approval paint, drive, landscape, and so on. So if buyer chooses not to put forth an effort, then shouldn’t complain if out of compliance.

We did that at 2 preowned, one had ARC approval. One none. We choose wisely
