Change of Season

Fall is here!  Leaves are scattering in the wind.  With that in mind, it is a good idea to be aware of your association’s bylaws when it comes to fall cleanup.  Looking ahead to the near future, Halloween is just around the corner.  The kids are anxious to get into their carefully selected costumes to enjoy the night of autumn frolic.  While the candy is certainly good, it is also worth checking what your association permits in terms of Halloween decorations and the coveted time of tricks and treats.

Auto-Approval Forms - Fast, Easy & Efficient!

Auto-Approval forms at LandArc.com have grown in popularity since we introduced the concept in 2005. This service offers immediate approval for standardized architectural requests, such as installing a satellite dish, while insuring that the request complies with your governing documents.  You can see an example at www.landarc.com/unique.

Our experience shows that Auto-Approval forms increase customer satisfaction and dramatically improve efficiency for basic community operations. So be sure to encourage your association members to check the auto-approval forms before they submit their requests.
