If you plan to modify the exterior of your home or yard—such as replacing your roof, installing a fence, adding a shed, replacing your siding, or making other significant changes—you must submit the application on this page.
Note: You do not need to submit this application when performing repairs on previously-approved construction, keeping your approved exterior the same as it was.
Benefits
The Crescent Ridge HOA Covenants are legally-binding to all properties within the neighborhood, regardless of when your home was built or which builder.
The covenants specify how the exterior of each property should be, including your yard and its improvements (e.g., fencing, pools, landscaping).
Having consistent construction materials and styles helps keep the neighborhood looking cohesive and distinguished, increasing desirability and, therefore, property values.
If you modify your property’s exterior without prior HOA Board approval, you could face:
- Fines
- Orders to bring the property into compliance with the Covenants, at your own expense
- Legal action, including the potential removal of the structure and restoration of the property to its original state, at your own cost
To avoid these potential consequences, please ensure all architectural projects are approved BEFORE proceeding with construction.
Step-By-Step
- Whether DIY or hiring a contractor, finalize your project plan, including the construction timeline.
- Submit your project application. You’ll need to document your plans, including uploading blueprints, reference pictures, and contractor contact information.
- Await the HOA Board’s response. Expect to hear back within 1-2 weeks, but understand that the Board is made up of volunteers, has a process to follow, and may have some back-and-forth plan adjustments with you to get your project plans approved… so build this waiting time into your plan timeline.
- Once your plans are approved, you may get City of Owasso permits (as required and at your own expense) and begin construction.
- If, during the course of construction, your project requires deviating from the approved plans, notify the Board and, if possible, await the response. We understand that some project changes must be made in the moment, not allowing time to await a response. In this case, just understand that the Board may later disapprove of your project changes and require you to modify or uninstall the parts of your plan that deviated from the approved plans, at your own cost.
- Once your project is completed, notify the Board so your project inspection can be completed, ensuring your project complies with approved plans.
- Once your project receives inspection approval, keep that very important documentation. With it, you (or the next home’s owner) will be able to prove that your construction choices—project location, materials used, and style choices—are fully in compliance and therefore cannot have its approval revoked, whether your project is questioned in the future by neighbors or future Board members.
Examples
Examples of changes that require approval include:
- Painting or staining your home, trim, or other exterior structures (including fencing) with a new color (not required for keeping the same color)
- Replacing your home’s siding
- Expanding your house (e.g., additional rooms, screened-in patio)
- Installing any structure (e.g., shed, pergola, greenhouse), whether or not you consider it non-permanent or pre-assembled (which are not allowed anyway)
- Installing a fence
- Major landscaping changes
- Pouring new concrete areas (e.g., patio expansion, landscape curbing, pad for a shed or trash cans)
- Installing solar panels
- Installing a pool
- Replacing your roof
- Installing or replacing gutters
Again: Architectural project approval is not required for repairing previously-approved construction. Repairs do not substantially alter your exterior, since they are restoring what was already there. However, if your construction was not previously-approved, you should submit this form before repairing.
