All lot owners and occupants are bound by these rules, which are enforced by the association and its architectural committee. Key rules cover permitted uses, architectural standards, assessments, maintenance, and insurance.

• Residential use only: Property may be used only for residential, recreational, and related purposes. No business, commercial, manufacturing, or similar activities are allowed (Article 9.1).
• Architectural review & approval: All original construction and any exterior modifications (including landscaping, fences, paint, lighting, HVAC units, solar panels) require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee.
