Front Door Improvements

[BobsBurgers]

This subject has probably been addressed before but since I’m new, here goes...I’d really like to paint my boring white front door and add a screen door as well for some curb appeal. Do I need approval to make these small changes?

Thank you. 🙂

You should contact Community Standards to ensure that you receive the correct information.

We are going to screen in the front porch, and I had to go to ARC for approval, I do not know about just a screen door, call to be sure. As for the color change, this will probably require approval.

At orientation when I bought my house they stated it in very simple terms. You can make any changes you want to the inside of your house without approval. If you are making any changes to the outside of your house contact the VCDD first.

Also make sure you sign the proper forms and follow yourself. There are contractors here that have told clients they will handle the process for them and, surprise surprise, when someone files a complaint with Community Standards they learn the contractor didn't do what they were supposed to do. Ultimately, you are responsible.

There should be no problem obtaining copies of the approval paperwork. As JoMar says: YOU are responsible.
