chevron_rightCan I begin work on my property before receiving Design Review approval? In short, no. Owners should not make any changes to their homes' exterior without design review approval from their subdivision and Valley Vista. To clarify:1. Violation of HOA Rules: Making changes to your property without approval is a violation of the HOA's governing documents. Violating these rules may result in fines, penalties, or the requirement to revert the changes to their original state.2. Risk of Rejection: If you proceed with modifications before obtaining approval, there's a risk that the Board may reject your proposed changes. This could result in additional time and expenses to rectify the application.3. Legal Implications: Depending on the nature of the modifications and local regulations, proceeding without approval may also have legal implications, such as fines imposed by local authorities for non-compliance with building codes or zoning regulations.4. Community Harmony: Working without design approval can disrupt community harmony and cohesion, as it may create tension or disputes with neighbors who expect adherence to the established guidelines.

Insurance
-
chevron_rightWhat insurance does the HOA carry? Am I required to have additional insurance? The master insurance blanket policy for Valley Vista contains coverage for association owned property. The costs are distributed to all units within the community as a part of the monthly assessment. The association policy does not cover any personal property, window and wall coverings, items not attached or part of the building, and any special owner-installed improvements. The association policy does not contain any coverage for extra expense or loss of use for the individual owner. Therefore, each owner of a multi-family unit will still need to purchase their own (HO6) individual homeowners’ insurance policy. All non-attached single-family homes in Valley Vista must purchase their own (HO3) homeowners’ insurance policy as Valley Vista does not cover any portion of a non-attached single-family home.Your subdivision will also carry insurance. Their policy may be more relevant to your specific property, especially if you own an attached home. Valley Vista recommends providing your insurance agent with a copy of both HOA policies when obtaining a quote for your personal homeowner's insurance policy.
