Maintenance Responsibilities FAQ
Maintenance Responsibilities FAQ
The section outlines general maintenance responsibilities. However, before initiating any repairs, please consult the Maintenance Responsibility Chart available on the portal for specific guidance.
In most cases—even when maintenance falls under the Owner’s responsibility—architectural approval may still be required. To confirm whether approval is needed, either:
Submit an ARC Packet through the portal, or
Use General Request → Homeowner General Question to ask if ARC submission is necessary.
If you believe your maintenance issue is the Association’s responsibility, please submit a General Request → Work Order via the portal for review and follow-up.
