ACC FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What
is the ACC?
ACC
is the acronym for the Architectural
Control Committee. The ACC was
created by the Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions (DCCR's) that govern
the neighborhood. The primary
function of the ACC after the homes
are built, is to enforce the
restrictions found in the DCCR's.
What
are DCCR's or deed restrictions?
A Declaration of Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions (often
referred to as DCCR'S) is filed when
a subdivision is platted. They are
filed in the courthouse along with
the plats and vary depending upon
how strict or lenient the
subdivision creator has written them
to be. They run with the land, and
if one owns a lot or home in a
subdivision, one then must abide by
those restrictions.
In
general, what do I as a homeowner
have to abide by?
There are certain rules and
restrictions that govern the use and
care of our properties.
•Keep
garbage cans out of public view.
•Boats, campers, trailers, and/or
commercial vehicles are not
permitted in driveways or the
street.
•Posting commercial or
personal business signs is not
permitted.
•Construction of patio
covers, rooms, storage sheds, large
playground, equipment, basketball
goals, or unapproved fences must
have prior approval from the
Architectural Control Committee.
Be sure to read the deed
restrictions (DCCR's) that are
applicable to your property. They
can be found here: Section 1,
Section 2, Section 3, 4, 5. If you

sections.
What
is a voluntary homeowner's
association?
Cypress Mill is a voluntary
homeowner's association (HOA).
Generally voluntary HOA�s work along
with the ACC in supporting and
caring for the neighborhood. In the
case of the voluntary HOA like ours,
it does not matter if a resident
joins or not. The restrictions still
take precedent and have to be
observed even if there is no HOA at
all.
If I
am not a CMNA member, do I have to
follow the deed restrictions?
Yes. The deed restrictions that
are applicable to your home and have
nothing to do with whether or not
you are involved in the homeowner's
association.
