Architectural Control Committee
Bent Tree North has an Architectural Control Committee (ACC), comprised of several
members of the BTN HOA Board and an architect who lives in BTN with extensive
knowledge of Dallas City Codes. While technically the ACC is not part of the HOA, it is
a committee required by the restrictive BTN Covenants for each of the four phases of BTN.
Does my home construction project need Architectural Control Committee
approval?
All homes in BTN are subject to restrictive covenants that require ACC approval of
certain construction or renovation activities. The covenants differ across the four phases of
BTN, but a good rule of thumb – if you are making a modification that would materially
change the structure of your home, fence, or standalone structure, or you are seeking to
do something that would vary from what the covenants require, you need ACC approval.
Here are some common examples of projects that require ACC approval:
· Erecting or altering any building – such as a home tear down and rebuild, or
· renovations that would change the exterior structure/footprint of your home.
· Modifying the material, height, or location of any fences.
· Construction of a porte-cochere, or any new garage or carport.
· Solar roof projects.
If you are planning such a project, you or your contractor can get further information on what is needed for the ACC review and approval process for your project. Please Contact Us and select Architectural Control Committee.
