HOAs in Port St. Lucie enforce Architectural Review Committee (ARC) approval for exterior changes including paint, roofing, landscaping, fences, additions, and solar. Approval typically required before any work starts; unapproved changes can force removal.
Nearly every master-planned Port St. Lucie HOA (Tradition, PGA Village, Verano, Newport Isles, St. Lucie West associations) requires Architectural Review Committee approval before exterior modifications. Common items requiring ARC approval: paint colors (must be from approved palette), roof replacement including tile color and material, new landscaping or tree removal, fences (style, color, material, location), pool installation and screen enclosures, patios and pavers, storm shutters and impact windows (hurricane products cannot be banned under FL 163.04 but can be regulated), solar panels (FL 163.04 limits HOA restrictions but permits reasonable aesthetic rules), exterior lighting, mailboxes, flagpoles (FL 720.304 protects flag display), and driveway modifications. ARC applications typically require drawings, material samples, contractor information, and a fee. Response timelines are set in the covenants (often 30-45 days). Starting work without approval can lead to fines, stop-work orders (private), and litigation compelling removal or restoration. Some state-law-protected items (clotheslines under FL 163.04, native Florida landscaping under FL 373.185) limit HOA control.
Unapproved modification: fines up to $100/day, lawsuit to compel removal, and attorney fees recoverable under FL 720.305 prevailing party provision.
