Architectural review boards (ARBs) in Pickerington HOAs derive authority from CC&Rs and must act reasonably and consistently under ORC 5312.03 good-faith standards.
Ohio Planned Community Law (ORC 5312.03) imposes a duty of good faith on associations. ARBs reviewing exterior modifications (paint, fences, additions, landscaping) must apply standards uniformly and respond to applications within the timeframes set by CC&Rs (typically 30-60 days). Denials should be in writing with reasons. Arbitrary or discriminatory decisions can be challenged in Fairfield County Common Pleas Court.
