If you’re a homeowner in Cypress Chase, understanding the community’s fence and staining rules is essential before starting any fence project. The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) has clear guidelines to maintain the neighborhood’s consistent appearance and property values.
Fences, Walls, and Enclosures
Height & Materials
- Max height = 6 ft for side and rear yard fences.
- Acceptable materials: white PVC, black wrought iron, black aluminum, or landscaping (trees/shrubs).
- Colors/patterns must be compatible with the home design and consistent with the community streetscape.
- No front yard fences permitted.
- All exterior sides of fences must have a finished appearance.
Waterfront or Park Adjacent Lots
- Only black wrought iron, black aluminum, or landscaping allowed along the rear property line.
- Landscape screens may be required for privacy.
Maintenance Requirements
- Fences must be kept in good repair and consistent with community-wide standards.
- If damaged, the owner must repair or replace at their expense.
- For shared builder-installed fences:
- Both neighbors share ownership at the lot line.
- Each is responsible for maintaining their own side.
- If the fence is fully on one lot, the owner maintains both sides.
Staining Rules
- No explicit stain color chart was provided in the Cypress Chase guidelines.
- Instead, all fences must:
- Use approved materials (PVC, wrought iron, aluminum, or natural landscaping).
- Maintain a uniform and finished appearance.
- That means if a homeowner wants to apply a wood stain, they must submit an ARC/ACC request first and ensure the color blends naturally with the home and neighborhood.
