Yorktown Colony, Bradford Colony and Georgetown Colony Home Improvement Projects? Don’t Forget Your ARC Request First
As summer arrives, many homeowners begin tackling long-awaited exterior home projects—from replacing fences and roofs to repainting homes, installing patios, updating landscaping, or adding other exterior improvements. For residents of Yorktown Colony, Bradford Colony and Georgetown Colony, taking one important step before work begins can help ensure projects move forward smoothly: submitting an Architectural Review Committee (ARC) request.
The ARC review process helps preserve the appearance, property values and overall character of each community by ensuring exterior modifications comply with the governing documents and architectural guidelines established by the homeowners association. Even projects that may seem routine, such as changing paint colors, replacing fencing, installing a shed, or making landscape improvements, may require approval before construction begins.
Where to Submit an ARC Request
Residents can conveniently submit ARC applications online through the SBB Community Management homeowner portal:

Submitting requests through the homeowner portal allows homeowners to provide project details, upload supporting documents and track the status of their application throughout the review process.
Why ARC Approval Matters
Obtaining approval before beginning work can help homeowners avoid potential compliance issues, delays or the need for costly modifications after a project is completed. The review process is designed to ensure improvements are consistent with community standards while still allowing homeowners to maintain and enhance their properties.
Community standards play an important role in protecting the appearance, character and long-term value of the neighborhood. When homeowners follow the established architectural guidelines, it helps create a cohesive community aesthetic, supports property values, and ensures that improvements made today continue to benefit both current and future residents. By working through the ARC process, homeowners contribute to the overall quality and appeal that make Yorktown Colony, Bradford Colony and Georgetown Colony desirable places to live.
During the busy summer improvement season, submitting applications early is especially important, as review timelines can vary depending on the scope of the project and the volume of requests being received.
