the covenants and standards, which apply to all properties in the woodlands, require that the placement, construction, alteration or repair of any temporary or permanent structure or improvement on a lot with an existing single family dwelling must have the prior written approval of the residential design review committee or their designated staff. in addition to the standards, neighborhood criteria establish more specific regulations which vary from one neighborhood to another. all improvements must also comply with the neighborhood criteria applicable to that lot.

the covenants require that all improvements to existing structures and all new construction on lots with completed homes be approved by the residential design review committee, a committee of homeowners elected by the residents of each village. this includes but is not limited to: paint color changes, fences, play structures, decks, paving, patio covers, storage buildings, new garages, garage conversions, room additions, satellite dishes, exterior lighting, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, pools and spas.

plans are reviewed and acted on in accordance with the woodlands residential development standards. there is a separate application form for each type of improvement.

we know this was not easy to implement and we tip our hats to the township for their hard work.
