Do you need HOA approval to remodel a townhouse kitchen

Q: Do you need HOA approval to remodel a townhouse kitchen?

HOA approval for a townhouse kitchen remodel is required by most associations for anything beyond paint and minor fixtures. The exact rules are in your CC&Rs and the association's architectural or remodeling guidelines. Typical requests include a description or drawings of the work, the contractor's license number, an insurance certificate naming the association, and a signed application. Many HOAs also set work hours, limit where trucks and dumpsters can go, and require notice to neighbors. HOA approval and city permits are separate. Getting the association's letter does not replace a building, plumbing or electrical permit, and a city permit does not override the HOA. Allow time for both before the start date.
