Architectural Control Committee

Killearn Homes Association ACC

Approved by KHA Board on 9/6/2022

​

     The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) is responsible with regulating the aesthetic environment and standards within Killearn Estates by ensuring compliance with the existing covenants and any other standards deemed applicable by the committee. The covenants provide that the committee has the absolute and exclusive right to refuse to approve any submission, which in its opinion, is not suitable or desirable for any reasons of pure aesthetics, inconsistency with the overall harmony of the neighborhood or inconsistency with future development.

​

     The purpose of architectural review is to keep the community attractive for the enjoyment of residents and for the protection of property and property values. Therefore, no property, building, structure, fence, dock or other improvement may be made, altered, structurally modified, installed, constructed, or erected without the prior consent of the committee.

​

     The Architectural Control Committee meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at 10:00 am, in the Killearn Homes Association conference room.

​

     Submit your plans in person or online to the office no later than 4 PM on the Friday before the meeting. Please browse the list below to see what documents should be included in your application. The more information you can supply the more likely the committee will be able to make an immediate determination. If your plans are approved, you will receive written notice via email. No work shall be commenced until you have that written approval. If the committee cannot make a determination and needs more information, you will be informed in writing of the additional information being requested.

​

All exterior alterations must be approved by the Architectural Control Committee. Any variances must be granted by the KHA Board of Directors. 

​

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at 850-893-3468 or via email at compliancecoordinator@killearn.org.

Completed ACC applications can be dropped off at 2705 Killarney Way, Tallahassee, FL 32309. Alternatively, you can email the completed packet to compliancecoordinator@killearn.org
