It outlines the rules and approval process for any construction, modification, or landscaping on your lot — including new homes, additions, fences, and paint colors. This is not the full set of community rules; it covers only exterior architectural standards and contractor requirements.

• Modifications to existing homes: For alterations requiring a City of Prescott permit, submit application to HOAMCO ARC with deposit ($2,500 for major alterations). For changes not requiring a permit (e.g., paint color change), submit to the Committee chair. Any change to approved plans requires a separate application.
