Somerset Hills VIII Homeowners Association

From the May 31, 2023 board meeting minutes:

There have been some inquiries to the board on what a homeowner can change around their property. Changes inside your home can be made at any time without approval from our HOA [although city permits may be required]. Outside your home property areas, especially in areas that might encroach into common area, just contact our board using the contact link here on our website. Our Architectural Control Committee will happily contact you and help you review your change requests. Just leave your contact # with your inquiries. As a reminder, we have attached part of our CC&R’s:

ARTICLE V ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL
