CODE COMPLIANCE

As the grace period for paint-related violations comes to an end, the Dobson Ranch Architectural Committee (DRAC) would like to remind all homeowners that exterior modifications including painting and planting require prior approval. This process ensures that our community maintains a cohesive and attractive appearance, and that all improvements align with the community’s established standards.

If you are planning to repaint your home, even if you’re using the same color or a color previously approved, you must still submit an Architectural Request Form before beginning work. This includes repainting trim, doors, shutters, or any other exterior elements. Color swatches and a brief description of the project should accompany your request.

Likewise, new planting projects or major changes to your landscaping such as adding flower beds, removing trees, or installing new shrubs must also be reviewed and approved by the DRAC. The goal is not to limit creativity but to ensure that landscaping complements the overall aesthetic of the neighborhood and does not obstruct sight lines, walkways, or neighboring properties.

The grace period for paint-related violations was implemented to provide ample time for homeowners to avoid painting when ambient temperatures is not conducive to a quality paint job. That period is now concluding, and moving forward, violations for unapproved paint and planting projects will continue to be issued in accordance with community standards.

To submit an Architectural Request Form or to learn more about approved colors and planting guidelines, please visit the Dobson Ranch website (DobsonRanchHOA.com) or visit the administration office at La Casita Recreation Center. Thank you for helping us preserve the beauty and value of our community.
