Do you know the most common reasons Ocean Pines properties are issued violations?

Numerous violations are sent to the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) each year by inspectors at the Compliance, Permitting and Inspections Office (CPI). Many violations occur because homeowners are not aware of the Ocean Pines Association Deed Restrictions and Architectural Guidelines.

To help maintain property values throughout Ocean Pines and help homeowners avoid unexpected violation notices, below is a list of some of the most common violations:
 

• Debris in yards
• Unregistered vehicles
• Unauthorized removal of trees
• Fences without permits
• Unauthorized signs in yard
• Missing house numbers
• Roof debris (moss, mold & vegetation in gutters)
• Poorly maintained buildings or grounds
• Recreational vehicles on a property
• Box trailers, cargo trailers & oversized vehicles on a property
• Failure to obtain permits for exterior work

Please refer to the ARC Guidelines* and your Deed Restrictions for everything you need to know about the Ocean Pines requirements for keeping clean and aesthetically pleasing homes in our community. For any assistance or questions, our team at the CPI office is ready to help. Just give them a call at 410-641-7425.

Thank you for helping to keep Ocean Pines beautiful!
