2. Select a color scheme (base color, trim and accent) and complete the required forms.
   • You may use either or both of the trim colors associated with the color scheme.
   • You may use the accent color designed to match the color scheme (for front door, front decorative fence, and shutters), or select an alternate accent color from any color scheme.
   • You may not use the same color scheme as any adjacent neighbor.
   • Any variance requires adjacent homeowner acknowledgement of notification. The neighbor signature is not a neighbor's approval as much as an acknowledgement of notification and communication.
3. Mail the completed form to Total Property Management. Do not schedule a painter until you have received an email approval.
4. Working with Total Property Management, The Architectural Committee will ensure that you have not selected the same scheme as an adjacent neighbor and review for any variance. Approval for painting will be emailed to you and Total Property Management Company. Pre-approved color schemes with no variance can be quickly approved - within 25 business days. Any requested variance will extend the approval to 30 business days.
5. Once painting has been completed, please notify the Architecture Committee and Total Property Management that the project has been completed.
6. If the painting project has not been completed within 90 days, the approval expires and the homeowner must submit a new request.

Interior Home Improvements:

You do not need Architectural Committee or AVCA approval for any interior home improvements, unless they are visible from the outside (for example, moving windows). If your interior improvement will cause any change to the exterior of your home, you must follow the same process as you would for exterior architectural improvements.
