What are the Covenants?

The Covenants are series of guidelines that apply to your property. The Covenants are attached to your property title for Mirrormont Division 1 through Division 5. These Covenants are part of your property deeds and should have been pointed out to you by either your realtor, lender, escrow or title officer. Please find the Covenants at this link.

I’m considering remodeling my house, when should I contact the Architectural Review Committee?

Contact the architectural committee BEFORE completing architectural plans for a new home or addition. We are particularly concerned with visual harmony, setbacks, and landscaping buffers.

I want to add a new fence, do I need to contact the MCA?

Yes. Contact the architectural committee BEFORE installing a new fence or significantly altering landscaping that may impact your buffer. We do not allow chain link or wire mesh fences in locations that are visible from an adjacent roadway.

I want to add a new patio and revamp my lot. Do I need to contact the MCA?

Yes. The Mirrormont Covenants are designed to help preserve the unique quality of the neighborhood and natural screening between homes. Contact us with any setback questions pertaining to patios or other landscaping features.

We have a big project, what do we do with heavy equipment?

If you’ve contacted the ARC with your project and gotten approval, there is a time frame stipulated for work and equipment needed to complete the project.

You may be contacted if we receive a complaint for visible heavy equipment that is not in use for a current project.

I need to take out some trees. What are the steps?

Please be respectful of your neighbors and consider the impact to their property prior to taking down trees.

I have a new RV. Do the covenants address how I store it?

Yes. The Mirrormont Covenants prohibit unscreened RVs or boats. If reasonably visible from the street, you may be asked to enhance the screening of your RV or boat.

I want to store my boat on site. Do the Mirrormont Covenants allow this?

Boats and RVs must be stored in a permanent structure. If reasonably visible from the street, you may be asked to enhance the screening of your RV or boat.

Are chickens allowed? What about goats?

No. The Mirrormont Covenants prohibit livestock, including chickens and goats. If we notice livestock or poultry or receive a complaint, you will be asked to remove animals from your property.
