Call 918-779-1317 to start the process.
Understanding Broken Arrow HOA Requirements for Outdoor Structures
Every HOA has its own rules, but most Broken Arrow HOA communities regulate outdoor structures in similar ways:
- Height limits — most HOAs set maximum height for structures (pergolas, covered patios, fireplace chimneys). Typically 12–16 feet to ridge.
- Setback requirements — minimum distances from property lines and easements must be maintained
- Material and color approval — materials are often required to match or complement existing home materials
- Impervious surface limits — some HOAs limit the percentage of lot covered by hard surfaces
- Fire feature restrictions — wood-burning may be prohibited; gas typically allowed
- Architectural review committee (ARC) process — most require submittal of drawings and specifications before construction
How We Help with HOA Approval in Broken Arrow
We work with homeowners before finalizing the design to make sure the project will pass HOA review:
- Review your HOA’s CC&Rs and ARC guidelines before designing anything
- Design the project within HOA parameters — height, setback, and material requirements built in from the start
- Prepare submittal documentation — site plans, elevation drawings, material specifications, and dimensions in the format your ARC requires
- Advise on materials likely to gain fast approval — materials that match your home’s existing exterior are almost always approved without revision requests
HOA-Friendly Outdoor Living Options in Broken Arrow
Most HOAs approve all of these when properly designed and documented:
- Stamped and plain concrete patios within setback requirements
- Cedar or aluminum pergolas at appropriate heights
- Natural gas fire pits and fire tables (wood-burning often restricted)
- Natural gas outdoor fireplaces within height limits
- Outdoor kitchens with materials matching the home exterior
