In order to streamline the architectural submission process for homeowner reviews, we are excited to announce the immediate availability of the ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW Submission & Processing feature within TownSq! This feature removes the necessity for cumbersome paper forms, waiting on a return phone call, or physically having to visit the management office.
Everything can be processed through TownSq in partnership with Goodwin’s ACC (Architectural Control Committee) team.
Once a project has been submitted using TownSq, you will be able to monitor its progress as it moves through the various stages of the submission and review phases. Once the project has been voted on, you will have access to your verdict letter directly in TownSq for download! If a submission requires additional information or clarification, then you will be able to communicate directly with the review committee to help facilitate a swift turnaround on your submission.
Please do not hesitate to reach out for assistance with this new feature to ensure your next home project is the smoothest one yet.
Do note, email notifications from TownSq will be coming from noreply@townsq.io Please add this email address to your contacts list to ensure that none of the notifications are marked as spam/ junk by your email service provider.
ANSWERS TO FAQs

2) Is there a cost associated with submitting an ACC application?
No.
3) What is the response timeline when submitting an application?
Goodwin’s ACC facilitator will process applications as quickly as possible, but the Community’s ACC team will have up to 30 full days to cast a verdict. The Voting timeline starts when application/ request is set to Voting status and all necessary information has been received.
4) Do I have to submit an ACC application?
If you are making a modification to the exterior of your home, regardless of front, side, or backyard, then you will need to submit an application. This is to ensure that the intended project adheres to guidelines established by the association’s governing documents, does not create a hazard to neighboring lots, and does not detract from the overall aesthetic of the community or encroach on prohibited easements. Many variables are considered during the review of each application, and the procedure is meant to protect property values for the homeowner, their neighbors and that of the association overall.
5) What if I ignore the ACC process and proceed with an unapproved project?
Please adhere to the ACC procedure in place. Unapproved modifications or projects run the risk of creating issues to neighboring lots if made in prohibited easements, or if done with paint colors that do not complement the primary dwelling. Unapproved projects are considered violations and Goodwin’s Compliance team will issue notices to those suspected of erecting an unapproved structure or completing an unauthorized project. Worst case scenario might include the involvement of the association’s attorney and the restoration of the area at the homeowner’s expense if denied by the ACC.
6) What if I do not want to use TownSq?
We strongly recommend homeowners to register on TownSq as doing so enables them to interact with Goodwin, the management company, manage their association account, and submit ACC applications.
If TownSq is unavailable, please send an email to ACCReview@GoodwinTX.com to discuss other submittal options.
