Note: This page is part of the Rules and Regulations adopted by the Board of
Directors.
The quality of our community is only as good as the quality of each property
within the community. In some cases, the integrity of the home and/or the
safety of people are affected when standards that are set forth by the HOA
are not followed.
Additionally, like most HOA's, our HOA has a design standard that creates
unity and harmony from one home to the next. The developer has chosen
colors and design to match or complement each other. It is important for
each homeowner to regularly maintain the design, the colors and good
condition of their property according to these basic standards.
Rockland Village HOA and its property management will make every effort to
help homeowners in their efforts. As such, this page is provided as a
reference for proper colors, materials, standards, etc. More detailed
information is provided in your HOA documents under the "Rockland Village
Homeowners Association Design & Maintenance Standards" portion.
As always, if you have any questions you may contact the property
management company for further assistance.
Inspections - Our management company will perform regular inspections
for each home and property. Individual homeowners will be sent notices for
items that need to be addressed. The homeowner is given a period of time
to correct the items and notify the property management of the corrections.
It is mandatory to make the necessary corrections as instructed by
management. If the homeowner has any questions, they must contact
management as soon as they receive notice.
To make sure that you pass inspection successfully, please be sure to
regularly check the following items. Keep in mind that this is only a partial
check list. You should refer to your homeowner documents for complete
details of required maintenance and design standards.
**ATTENTION** ARC approval is required from the HOA before repairing
or replacing exterior elements of your home and property. For the sake of
identifying the proper materials, colors, methods, and required permits or
inspection checks, please contact the management for an ARC application for
any exterior work. Any changes to the exterior of your property without an
ARC approval will result in a violation so please contact management to
inquire about alterations, modifications, or additions to standard designs.
BASIC INSPECTION CHECK LIST
Paint Peeling or damaged paint must be corrected with original colors.
Mold, mildew, rust, and algae growth on paint must be removed.
Fences Broken, missing or leaning fences must be straightened and/or

extend the life of wooden fences. Since the fencing in our community is

safety. Decks with peeling paint or worn stain must be cleaned and re-painted or re-
sealed.

for safety and security reasons. Homeowners are not allowed to remove or
shut off automatic light sensors on lamp posts.
Landscaping Excessive weeds and overgrowth must be removed regularly.
Any growth that intrudes into public access space or neighbor's property
must be trimmed back to within homeowner's own property lines. Check
fence lines for any growth that intrudes through fencing. Homeowners who
have growth coming onto their property are allowed to trim back the growth
up to the border of their property lines. This growth includes tree limbs,
roots, shrubs, vines, etc. Grass should be kept between 2.5" and 4" high.
Trash Each lot owner is responsible for keeping all trash secured in
containers designed for trash use. Containers issued by the HOA trash
vendor must be kept in good condition. Each homeowner is responsible for
contacting the number located on the trash vendor container to order repairs
or replacement of the trash and/or recycle containers. Homeowners are
responsible for picking up loose or wind-blown trash which has originated
from their property.
Siding Cracked, broken or missing siding must be repaired or replaced to
original color and style.
Trim Trim includes decorative moldings, columns, rails, door and window
frames. These must be checked for wood rot, deterioration and weather
damage. Repair and replacement must meet original design and colors.
Gutters & Downspouts Paint, repair or replace as needed.
Roof Homeowners are responsible for maintaining their roofs. Single family
homes have architectural shingles made by Certainteed ranging from grey to
charcoal color. Each single family homeowner is responsible for matching
their existing roof style and particular color. Townhome owners all have a
uniform roof style and color. It is a traditional 3-tab shingle model XT25
made by Certainteed in Slate Gray color.
****************
Below is a list of approved colors and stains. All Townhome exterior front
doors were identically colored by the developer. Townhome owners should
make every effort to match their door color as close as possible to the
approved color below. For Duron and all other discontinued brands, custom
matched paint is the preferred product for matching original color. Single
Family homeowners should try to match new paint to existing paint colors.
Any change in color to Single Family homes must first be approved by the
HOA through an ARC application.
TOWNHOMES:

Townhome doors must be stained in a 3 step process.
Step 1.
Make sure old paint or stain has been completely removed from your door. You may only need to do this to the exterior side.
If you have not stained your door yet, the original manufacturers
stain may come off with a household cleaner and a scouring sponge.
If you used paint on your door you may use a paint and varnish
remover like CitriStrip which you can find at HomeDepot, Lowes, or
online. Follow the directions to remove the paint. You can also
remove old stain colors. To get the best results for your front door,
you must remove the paint or worn stain before re-staining.
Step 2. Follow the directions for the gel stain to apply on your door.
You may find a contractor to perform this step and the next step if
you do not wish to do it yourself. Please be sure to inform your
contractor of the HOA's guidelines.
Step 3. Make sure your use Spar Urethane after you apply your stain
to protect the finish from becoming prematurely faded or worn.
When done properly, this step will prolong the life of your stain.
SINGLE FAMILY & TOWNHOMES:
FENCES MUST BE CLEAR STAINED OR NATURAL STAINED.
Deck Stain & Color - The natural color range below may be used to stain
your deck only. IF YOU USE TREX OR OTHER MAN-MADE DECKING
MATERIAL, YOU MAY CHOOSE WHITE OR AMBER WHITE TO MATCH
THE TRIM OF YOUR HOME.
NATURAL WOOD DECKS MAY BE PAINTED WHITE BUT THIS IS NOT
RECOMMENDED SINCE IT BECOMES A HIGH MAINTENANCE PROBLEM
IF NOT DONE PROPERLY. SEE LINK
