Most Fulton County HOAs operate Architectural Review Committees (ARC) requiring approval for exterior modifications. Approvals are governed by CC&Rs and Georgia POA Act §44-3-223.
ARC approval is typically required for fences, paint colors, roofing changes, additions, sheds, and landscaping in HOA-governed communities. Process: submit ARC application with plans → ARC review (typically 30 days) → approval/denial in writing. Denial can be appealed to the HOA Board. Reasonable denial standards apply. Statewide preemptions exist for solar (O.C.G.A. §44-3-220) and certain accessibility features.
Unapproved modifications: HOA fines + removal demand + possible lien for non-compliance.
