Modifications – Architectural and Landscaping Architectural

The Tanoan Community East Planning Committee is tasked with review and approval of all exterior modification requests, including architectural and landscaping changes. If a project changes the exterior appearance of your home or property you must obtain written approval prior to starting the project. All necessary forms and rules can be found here. While the link to the consolidated planning committee rules is on this page, full architectural guidelines for each subdivision can be found under the Governing Documents tab.


General Guidelines for Modification of Homes and Yards

If a proposed modification changes the outward appearance of your home or yard, approval is required.
Some examples:

1) Constructing improvements/additions to your home or yard
2) Re-painting or re-stucco of home or garage (if changing color)
3) Re-paving driveway (if changing layout or color)
4) Re-roofing house or garage
5) Modify entryway/door/garage door
6) Replacing windows (if frame color and/or configuration is changing)
7) Modify landscaping visible from any street or common area

Landscaping Regulations

Landscaping in Tanoan East must be maintained in a neat and attractive appearance at all times. Yards are to be free of debris and weeds and trees and shrubs must be kept neatly trimmed, and grass kept cut and healthy. Inspections are conducted of each home by our Compliance Coordinator every other week and violation letters and fines are issued.

Before any major changes are made to the landscaping in front and side yards you must submit a request to the Planning Committee. The Landscape Guidelines and request forms are available here.

Should you require assistance in completing the attached paperwork, please do not hesitate to contact the Association management office at (505) 338-0000.
