ACC FAQs
- Where should I direct questions about this process?
Response: Directions can be found under Architectural on the website and the Documents section under Tools in TownSq. You can also get in touch by phone at 281-207-9894 or by email at HTELFmanager@goodwintx.com.
2) Is there a cost associated with submitting an ACC application?
Response: No fee at this time. $750 refundable deposit required for a Pool/Spa request.
3) What is the response timeline when submitting an application?
Response: Goodwin’s Onsite Community Standards/ACC team/Board-designated Reviewer will process applications as quickly as possible, but will have up to 30 full days (from accemptance of completed submittal) to cast a verdict.
4) Do I have to submit an ACC application?
Response: If you are making a modification to the exterior of your home, whether the front, side, or backyard, you will need to submit an application. This is to ensure that the intended project adheres to the association’s governing documents, does not create a hazard to neighboring lots, and does not detract from the community's overall aesthetic or encroach on prohibited easements. Many variables are considered during the review of each application, and the procedure is intended to protect property values for homeowners, their neighbors, and the association as a whole.
5) What if I ignore the ACC process and proceed with an unapproved project?
Response: Please adhere to the ACC procedure in place. Unapproved modifications or projects run the risk of creating issues for neighboring lots if made in prohibited easements or if done with paint colors that do not complement the primary dwelling. Unapproved projects are considered violations, and Goodwin’s Compliance team will issue notices to those suspected of erecting an unapproved structure or completing an unauthorized project. The worst-case scenario might include the association’s attorney's involvement and the restoration of the area at the homeowner’s expense if denied by the ACC.
6) What if I do not want to use TownSq?
Response: We strongly recommend that homeowners register on TownSq, as doing so enables them to interact with Goodwin, the management company, manage their association account, and submit ACC applications. If TownSQ is not available to you, please contact (832) 678-4505 or email HTELFmanager@goodwintx.com to discuss other submittal options.
7) What types of applications will Goodwin’s ACC team process?
Response: Our team will process all architectural review applications, including fences, outbuildings, patio/patio cover/deck, room addition, exterior painting, re-roofing home, gazebo, pergolas, home additions, driveway additions/extensions, window replacement, etc.
