ACC Concept
The next ACC meeting is scheduled for Monday, 6 April at 11:30 in the clubhouse.
Palma Sola Trace follows a community-wide Architectural Standard established by the Master Association and documented in the Design Review Manual (DRM).
The Villas HOA maintains its own Architectural Control Committee (ACC) Standards, which are equal to or more restrictive than the Master DRM. These standards are outlined in the Villas ACC Manual and are tailored to the unique design, structural, and maintenance considerations of the villas neighborhood.
The Villas ACC reviews proposed exterior property changes to help ensure modifications are consistent with community standards, preserve neighborhood appearance, and comply with governing documents. The ACC’s role is to provide guidance, confirm compliance, and issue approvals when required before work begins.
If you have questions about the ACC process, proposed improvements, or submission requirements, please contact Julie at C&S Management or a member of the Villas ACC Committee.

ACC Project Checklists
The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) has developed project checklists to assist in evaluating ACC applications before approval. Villa owners can use these checklists as a guide when planning projects and completing their ACC applications. This helps ensure that projects meet HOA guidelines and include all necessary information.
These checklists cover the most common projects the ACC has reviewed over the years.

CONTRACTORS WITH PRIOR ACC WORK APPROVAL
For the convenience of Villa homeowners considering a project that requires ACC approval, the Villas ACC has compiled a list of contractors that have performed project work in the Villas Neighborhood.
The ACC has confirmed current Florida contractor licenses and insurance information for these contractors. There is no obligation for Villa homeowners to choose a contractor from this list; other contractors may be contacted and asked for a bid.
As part of the ACC Request for Architectural Approval process, the ACC will contact any contractor chosen by the homeowner, and not on the list, to verify their credentials.
Please Note:
Villa owners have their own dedicated Architectural Control Committee appointed by the Villas HOA Board of Directors.
The standards and guidelines used within the villas neighborhood conform with requirements in Florida Statute 720 and the Master Association Design Review Manual.
