Architectural Review Board (ARB)
The ARB is comprised of resident volunteers who conduct an Annual Inspection of each property in the spring. The purpose of the inspection is to ensure that properties are maintained, and home values preserved. The board also reviews Architectural Change Requests that residents submit before making changes to the exterior of their properties. Learn more about community guidelines here.
ARB approval to make a change to the exterior of my property?
All modifications to the exterior of the home require approval from the ARB (Architectural Review Board). Modifications include additions or changes to fences, sheds, roofing, siding, drives, awnings, landscaping, etc. Homeowners do not need approval if they’re replacing “like with like.” For instance, if your new roof is going to be the same color and material, then you don’t need to submit a change request form.
Assessments
Quarterly assessments are $275/quarter and are due the 1st of January, April, July and October ($1100/year). A coupon booklet was not sent to homeowners. If you mail in your assessment, please include your name, street address and account number on the check and send to:
Ghent Square Community Assoc. Inc.

P.O. Box 27898

Tel: 757-499-2200
