Exterior Alteration Request Reminder
An “Exterior Alteration Request Form” must be submitted for approval prior to making changes to the Exterior of your home. A list of the Approved colors and materials can be found on the “Exterior Specifications List”. Contractor Information as well as Proof of Liability Insurance must be included with your request. Both forms and specifications can be found and downloaded at our website oakhillhoa.org in the “Documents” section at the top of the page.Below are PDF instructions due to several recent issues with people submitting screenshots of forms, or a photo taken sideways of a vertical document, which results in a totally unreadable photo when received for our use. A paper form must be a .pdf not a .jpg.
1. How to PDF: Paper Forms such as the Exterior Alteration Request cannot be submitted by taking a photo with your phone. They will be the wrong orientation, small and will not be readable when received by us. You can however use your phone to Scan a paper form by using a PDF App on your phone. When using the App, a photo of a Paper form will have the proper size and orientation and be readable when received.
