Architectural Review Board

Thinking of making changes or improvements to your property? Please complete the ARB Application Form and send it to Architectural Review Board (arb@southbayhoa.org) with a brief description of your plans and timeline before work starts.

Examples of changes or improvements are: outside painting, landscaping, new construction, new or changed fences or walls, and new or improved driveways. Please attach pictures of the property, architectural drawings, paint codes, scanned product brochures, etc. as needed to outline your plans.

All changes affecting the external appearance of your property require written approval from the ARB. If you fail to follow the ARB guidelines, you may have to redo your project. For detailed information, you can review the  Architectural Review Board Planning Criteria
