The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) approves or declines changes to your home. The ACC is in place to help the neighborhood maintain or increase the values of our homes, while also guiding and directing the enhancement and enrichment of our community.

Such changes that require the submission of an ACC Form A might include:

• putting up a fence;
• changing paint color; and
• putting an awning on your home.
• Download ACC Form A

Note: Painting your home the same color as the original paint is not a change, and does not require approval.

In the recent past, many homeowners have made changes without getting approval from the ACC. Making changes without the approval of the submission of an ACC Form A is not allowed. Those homeowners who make changes without approval risk being fined by the Brushy Creek Homeowner’s Association, and put themselves at risk of having to redo the work in accordance with the Brushy Creek Community Covenants.

WHAT ARE BRUSHY CREEK COMMUNITY COVENANTS?

Brushy Creek has protective Community Covenants that were filed at the County Courthouse when the neighborhood was started several years ago. The covenants are legal restrictions effectively attached to your deeds. Residents and homeowners are requested and bound to follow these covenants and maintain certain standards in the Homeowner Association Community.

Many times people are unaware of the existence of the covenants or the specific details that the covenants contain. Click below to review Brushy Creek's Covenants.
