FAQs
How long does the approval process take?
Approval times vary depending on the scope of the work being done. You should expect correspondence from the Board within 2 weeks.
What if my application is denied?
You’ll receive a written explanation of why your application was denied and what modifications would make it acceptable. You may resubmit a revised application.

What happens if I make changes without approval?
Unapproved modifications may result in fines, required removal or modification of the improvement, and potential liens on your property.
Can I appeal an ACC decision?
