Davis Lake Community Association

Architectural Review Committee

The Davis Lake "Declaration of Covenants", requires that all homeowners must submit an application to the ARC for approval of ALL proposed exterior additions or alterations to their house or lot. The ARC generally meets once per month - so please submit requests AT LEAST 45 days before you plan to begin work. The ARC has 45 days to determine approval AFTER the application is received. Work should not be started until AFTER ARC approval has been received in writing.

All ARC applications must have original homeowner signature and date. Therefore, no applications can be accepted via email. ARC applications may either be given to your ARC representative or put in the DLCA clubhouse mail slot next to the front door. Please contact your ARC rep if you need further assistance. All ARC appeal/variances are to be dropped off at the clubhouse.

The Davis Lake Architectural Review Committee (DLARC) provides a set of standards to assist the homeowner in researching what is allowed or not allowed in Davis Lake, based on the Homeowners Covenants.  The standards are not all inclusive - but do provide a sense of what is covered in our legal documents (Declaration of Rights, Restrictions, Affirmative Obligations and Conditions Applicable To All Property in Davis Lake  and Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions of the Davis Lake Community Association, Inc.) that all Davis Lake homeowners are given at the time of their house closing. Other Davis Lake legal governing documents are located in the Property Owner's section of this website.  www.davislake.org/membersonly/   For further assistance, please contact the ARC members (listed below) who will be glad to provide assistance.

The Davis Lake ARC Standards must be followed by all Davis Lake residents including those in the Legacy and Woodcroft communities. However, if there are Legacy and/or Woodcroft standards, Covenants or By-Laws that are more restrictive, then you will need to comply with those as well if you live one of these communities. Please contact your community ARC representative for guidance before making any changes to the outside of your residence or landscaping.

ARC Base House Color Wheel Listing
These are typically the colors that residents use for the house and then provide separate swatchs/numbers of the colors they want to paint their trim and shutters. A suggestion is to look at a shade or 2 darker for the shutters. Generally trim is white but if they desire another color or contrast, they must provide a color swatch.
