If you live in Arbordale, keeping your property compliant with HOA standards is essential for maintaining neighborhood appeal and avoiding costly violations. The Arbordale Property Owners’ Association has clear guidelines when it comes to fencing. Before starting any fence installation, replacement, or alteration, make sure you understand the rules below.
Fence Rules and Guidelines
Approval Required Every fence project must be reviewed by the Design Review Committee (DRC). Homeowners must submit a written request and obtain approval before beginning any work.
Prohibited Fence Materials Wood and chain link fences are not permitted in Arbordale.
Approved Fence Types
- Privacy fences must be white vinyl
- Non-privacy fences may be either white vinyl or black metal (specific styles must be approved by the DRC)
Ground Clearance All fences must be installed at least 2 inches above the ground. This clearance ensures HOA landscapers can properly maintain common areas.
Location and Easements No fence may be placed within an easement without obtaining a written variance from the Board. Placement, style, and height must follow DRC standards.
Maintenance Requirements Homeowners are responsible for keeping fences in good condition. Damaged, rotted, or warped boards/posts must be repaired or replaced promptly.
Completion Timeline Any approved construction or alteration must be completed within 90 days of written DRC approval. If the project is delayed beyond this period, a new application will be required.
Why These Rules Matter
These guidelines are designed to keep the community looking consistent and attractive while protecting property values. Fencing is one of the most visible parts of a home, and Arbordale’s standards ensure that every property contributes to the neighborhood’s overall appeal.
