Horseshoe Bay Architectural Standards

The Horseshoe Bay Architectural Committee’s goal is to enhance and maintain the aesthetic and architectural integrity of the Horseshoe Bay Community. By doing so, the committee provides a framework that protects the property value of each home within the community. Prior approval from the Architectural Committee is required before any natural soil or vegetation is disturbed by the owner of any lot or land, and any construction or any improvement begins, which includes the building of any structure, addition or remodel, swimming pools and spas, irrigation systems, fences, retaining walls, etc.

The Architectural Standards for the various communities within the City of Horseshoe Bay are intended to guide all residential and commercial development and construction such as new buildings, building additions, site work, and landscaping as well as any subsequent changes or alterations to previously approved plans or existing structures and landscaping including:

​

• New Home Construction

• Remodeling or additions to existing homes

• Exterior home or landscaping modifications or additions

• Re-painting a home’s exterior

• Roof, door, and window replacements

• Installation of solar systems and satellite dishes

• Bulkhead and piers

• Boathouses, boats, and jet ski slips

• Installation of swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs

• Installation of fences, walls, and pergolas

• Installation of generators and Installation of propane tanks

Proposed projects submitted are required to follow the Architectural Standards. The Architectural Committee provides reviews as a courtesy to property owners to ensure all standards are met. A THREE-STEP INSPECTION OF ALL NEW HOMES WILL TAKE PLACE BEFORE GAINING APPROVAL FOR OCCUPANCY.
