If you call community standards, they will tell you that unless you are in a courtyard villa, there are not that many restrictions. They want a picture of your roof and your neighbors, which is easily obtained from the county appraiser. Courtyard villas are a different story. The one’s I am aware of require a particular brand and color. It’s ridiculous because houses across the wall have any color they want. But failure to get approval even if you don’t change the color is not the best move.

If it was up to me, I would mandate high reflectivity shingles and allow white metal roofs. Dark shingles are way too hot.
