These inspections are an important service that fulfills one of MVF’s core responsibilities, that of maintaining the architectural integrity and harmony of Village properties and enforcing architectural covenants. Properties are inspected to determine if they comply with the architectural criteria and guidelines for each community. Check the MVF website, www.montgomeryvillage.com, for architectural criteria and guidelines for your community. Inspections include the exterior of homes, decks, fences, patios, walkways, sheds and any other structures or additions. Residents should check with the Architectural Standards Department before making any visual changes to either their homes or yards. Architectural inspections do not include general maintenance of private residences, which are addressed by the individual homes corporations and their Private Property Maintenance Inspections, which are conducted on an annual basis.
