As a property owner, knowing how to guide homeowners through submitting architectural requests via the Resident Center is essential. Here’s a step-by-step guide for your reference:

Logging In: Homeowners need to log in to the Resident Center.

⚠️ Note: The Resident Center mobile app cannot manage architectural requests. Homeowners must use a web browser to access this feature.

Accessing Architectural Requests: Once logged in, homeowners should select "Architectural Requests" from the Resident Center menu.

Viewing Current Projects: On the Architectural Requests page, homeowners can see their open projects, including the initial request date, current status, and the decision reached.

Creating a New Request:

Click "Create architectural request"”

Follow the instructions provided by the Association.

Upload supporting documents (up to 10 files, each 15 MB or less).

Naming the Project: Homeowners should give their project a clear and descriptive name.

Submitting the Request: When all details are ready, click "Submit request".

Updating Requests: After submission, homeowners can provide additional updates or upload new documents:

Type updates in the Updates text box.

Click the Upload button to add more files.

Click "Send" to submit updates.

This process ensures that all necessary information and documents are submitted efficiently, helping the Association review and approve requests promptly.

Only during Emergency responses will management approve a request on behalf of an homeowner.
