The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is a group of owners who serve on a volunteer basis to ensure architectural consistency and compliance set forth in the Rimrock Cove Owners Association Governing Documents. Their role is to review projects before and after completion.

The lot owner is responsible for the following:

  • Researching & understanding the Architectural Rules & Regulations, Bylaws & Covenants pertaining to all and any change or addition to property, structure, etc.

  • Research, design, and documentation of the project

  • Location of property lines

  • Ensure approved work is implemented/built precisely to approved documentation

  • Being present (or represented) during construction, trailer delivery/placement, contractor activities, etc

  • Ensure that all required permits have been submitted/approved prior to the start of the project

  • Ensure that approved backflow prevention devices are installed on in-ground, irrigation/sprinkler systems connected to pressurized water to protect drinking water.

  • Seek final sign-off by ARC upon project completion

Additionally, it is the lot owner’s responsibility as an owner of property in Grant County to research whether or not a permit is required for your project and to adhere to county/state building codes. The Architectural Review Committee is not responsible, liable, or required to ensure permits are obtained or adhered to. Typical permitted structures may include placement of Park Model, decks, roof structures, Arizona rooms, additions, changes to park model and electrical projects. This list is not comprehensive.

When drafting your plan, clearly show proposed changes to your property i.e., storage shed, deck, trailer placement, addition, utilities, etc. Be sure to include setbacks from the property lines & show dimensions to neighboring structures. Included are a few examples of great plans that have been submitted in the past:

The easiest way to submit your plan is electronically in PayHOA under Requests - Architectural Requests - New Submission. Please fill out the Form to send it to the right people for review.

The Architectural Review Committee reserves the right to request more information to clarify the application. Projects initiated prior to proper approval is are not in accordance with the Association’s Governing Documents and could result in a violation. Approval by the ARC does not in any way guarantee approvals by the City, County, or any other such agencies, and all such approvals or permits are the responsibility of the owner/applicant.

Washington State requires approved backflow prevention devices on in-ground, irrigation/sprinkler systems connected to pressurized water to protect drinking water. Where applicable, devices must be testable and inspected annually by a certified tester. Owners are responsible for installation, maintenance, and compliance, and may be required to provide proof. This applies to both existing and new systems.
