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. Please submit requests as soon as you plan any exterior changes. The ARC are volunteers and have up to 45 days to determine approval AFTER the application is received. If all info is not included, this will slow the approval process. Work should not be started until AFTER the ARC approval has been received electronically via TownSq.

All ARC applications should be submitted on TownSq under the Request button/Architectural Application.

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 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 in the Property Owner’s section of this website.  www.davislake.org/membersonly/

If you have questions before submitting an application write to arc@davislake.org

The Davis Lake ARC Standards must be followed by all Davis Lake residents and property owners, 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,  you must comply with those as well if you live in 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

This is the approved Color Wheel for the color selection on the house, trim and shutters. Note the swatch/number for the paint for each. Often, the paint for the shutters is one or two shades darker than the house. The trim is usually white, but if another color is desired for contrast,  please provide a color swatch for approval.
