 Association Times | Architectural Guidelines and the Approval Process
Most associations have standard written forms (often called architectural variance or change requests) which are filled out by the owner and submitted, with appropriate architectural drawings if necessary, to the association's board of directors or property management office.
While seeking the approval of a community association for these changes may trouble some owners, it is important to note that a community's enforcement of architectural guidelines can be upheld in a court of law.
Architectural guidelines are not intended to arbitrarily control property, but rather are an additional means of fulfilling the association's duty to its members to maintain standards which provide for a beautiful community and protect property values.

 Realty Times: Architectural Controls: Where's The Beef?
One might disagree with the need for external uniformity, for example, but the fact remains that if the association documents require external uniformity, that is the law of the association and is binding on its members.
Having discussed the function and purpose of architectural controls, however, boards of directors of community associations must also recognize that the architectural control committee cannot be a dictator, rendering unreasonable -- and often absurd decisions.
Boards of directors must establish fairly specific guidelines, and if those rules are not already in your association documents, they should be drafted and approved in accordance with your legal documents, and the laws of the state in which your property is located.

 Association Times | Architectural Policies – Make Sure Your Association Has Them!
Community associations maintain control over the common elements and exterior appearance of the units and buildings for various reasons.
Instead, for commonly requested unit owner projects, the association should establish standards and specifications that include durability, color, style, make and model so that all such changes are uniform.
Establishing architectural policies (or rules) to address issues related to the appearance of lots and the exterior of units goes a long way in preventing future problems.
