ACC vs. Homes Maintenance vs. Grounds: BHA has three related committees, the ACC, the Grounds Committee, and the Homes Maintenance Committee. Their descriptions are listed below:
Homes Maintenance Committee: Maintaining your home in good repair is not covered by the ACC standards. The Homes Maintenance Committee is concerned with ensuring all homes are kept in good repair. It looks for painting and deterioration of siding, chimneys, and other unit structures.
Architecture Control Committee (ACC): Maintaining your home requires repairs and replacement of various parts of the unit's exterior. No structure, building, addition, deck, patio, fence, wall, enclosure, window, exterior door, or any other exterior replacements, improvements, or alterations (visible from the exterior of the unit) are to be started until an application has been submitted and approved by the Architecture Control Committee.
