ANSWERS TO FAQ'S

1) Where should I direct questions about this process?

Response= Please reach out to Goodwin’s ACC team via email at ACCReview@GoodwinTX.com You may also use the ‘requests’ feature to submit a general question about this process or email your community manager. Note that the team processing applications is reachable at 281-706-8950.

2) Is there a cost associated with submitting an ACC application?

Response= No there is not an application fee to collect

3) What’s the response timeline if submitting an application?

Response= Goodwin’s ACC team will process applications as quickly as possible but will have up to 30 full days 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 regardless of front, side, or backyard then you will need to submit an application. This is to ensure that the intended project adheres to guidelines established by the association’s governing documents, don’t create a hazard to neighboring lots, and don’t detract from the overall aesthetic of the community or encroach in prohibited easements. Many variables are considered during the review of each application and the procedure is meant to protect property values for the homeowner, their neighbors and that of the association overall.

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 to neighboring lots if made in prohibited easements, or if done with paint colors that don’t compliment 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. Worst case scenario might include the involvement of the association’s attorney and the restoration of the area at the homeowner’s expense if ultimately denied by the ACC.

6) What if I don’t want to use TownSq?

Response= We strongly recommend for homeowners to register on TownSq, as doing so enables them to interact with Goodwin, the management company, manage their association account, and submit ACC applications.

7) What types of applications will Goodwin’s ACC team process?

Response= Our team will process the following applications…arbor/trellis, decks, driveway replacements and driveway extensions, fencing, gutters, inground pools, exterior paint, patio/patio cover/patio extensions, play structures, porch railing, door replacements, rooftop solar panels, room addition, screen/storm doors, spa/hot tub, stain/paint driveway/walkways, storage building, permanent basketball goal, gazebo, and window treatments
