I want to make some improvements to the exterior of our house. Do I need an application?

Posted on: April 16th, 2018

No application is needed for maintenance where there is no change in appearance of the exterior of your home or landscaping.  This includes repainting with existing colors, replacement of windows and doors, replacement of perimeter fences, replacement of landscaping or minor landscape improvements.  For more information and guidelines on maintenance and no application installations, please refer to the Architectural Standards and Appendices at www.EncinitasRanch.org.

You need to file an application for other improvements that will change the appearance of the exterior of your home or landscaping.    These improvements include any complex modifications such as pools or additions as well as any new exterior paint color, changes to any fencing, design changes to windows, doors and garage doors, all driveway modifications, and any solar installation.  This is not a complete list.  For more information and guidelines on these types of installations please refer to the Architectural Standards and Appendices at www.EncinitasRanch.org.
