ARCHITECTURE

Fences, patios, and decks require architectural review by the HOA Board. The Architectural Change Form can be under the resources tab.  It is the responsibility of homeowners to obtain any required permit from the Town of Purcellville.  Even if you have already completed a project you are still required to get both HOA and Town approval; neglecting this can delay a house sale.

Larger storage units - a structure larger than approx 3 feet tall and 5 feet long and 3 feet deep

Rubbermaid-like or prefab sheds are NOT acceptable if not fully hidden. 

Construction must be adjacent and made integral to the house.

The shed must be designed to respect the "visual rights" and aesthetic interests of neighborhood properties. Applicants should review all design criteria with respect to visibility, privacy and materials prior to design.

Architecture review board approval needed.

Rain barrels will be permitted if they are appropriately concealed from view or disguised per rain barrel. The rain barrels must be commercially produced, 55 gallons or smaller and must be either a neutral color or match the color-scheme of the house. 

An application is required for rain barrels if there is going to be any additional modification to the original home, including, but not limited to, changes in downspouts. In addition, any optional screening materials should be included with the application and follow pertinent and existing guidelines.

An application is required for exterior enclosures to screen trash cans and various utilities. Such enclosures must be adjacent to side or rear walls and may not exceed the following measurements: 4’ (projection from the home) x 8’ (in length) x 5’ (in height). Trash/utility enclosures, when located in the side yards, must be even or setback from the front face of the house. Homeowners with unique topographical issues that are not able to follow the specific guidelines as stated will be reviewed on an individual basis. The enclosure must be framed securely and be either natural wood finish or painted to match the house color or trim color.
