COMMUNITY STANDARDS

Post-Modification Application Fees Begin 1/1/22 - The BCA Board of Directors has approved a Post-Modification Application Fee of $100 for all exterior modifications started or constructed without prior approval by the Covenants Committee. This fee will take effect on January 1, 2022, providing a grace period for property owners to apply for any exterior modifications made without an application or approval before the end of the year. To avoid the upcoming application fees, owners are encouraged to submit applications for any unapproved modifications during this grace period. The Design Review Application can be found here, and the schedule of upcoming Covenants Committee Meetings and application deadlines can be found here.

Winter Preparation of Hose Bibs - With the colder weather approaching, it’s time to retire your garden hose! Every year it’s important to turn off your outdoor water supply lines correctly. If this is done incorrectly, any water left in the supply line can freeze and expand, causing the pipes to split.
