Milwaukee HOAs may operate Architectural Review Committees under their Declarations. Wisconsin law requires reasonable and timely decisions, typically within 30 to 60 days of a complete application.
Architectural review in a Milwaukee HOA or condo association is governed by the recorded Declaration and Bylaws. Wisconsin courts have generally required ARC decisions to be reasonable, made in good faith, and issued within the timeframe stated in the governing documents (commonly 30 to 60 days). Owners must submit plans before starting any exterior change such as fences, paint, roofs, or additions. Failure by the ARC to respond within the stated period is often deemed approval under the Declaration. Denials should be in writing with the specific rule cited. Condo associations must also approve changes affecting common elements under Wis. Stat. 703.13.
