HOA Fence Approval in Colorado Springs: How to Get It Right the First Time

Every year we watch homeowners rip out a brand-new fence because the HOA rejected it after installation. Colorado Springs HOAs — Wolf Ranch, Briargate, Flying Horse, Banning Lewis Ranch, Meridian Ranch — each publish their own architectural review rules. Get approved before you dig.

The 5-piece packet every Colorado Springs HOA wants

1. A plat map with the fence line drawn in and dimensions.
2. Height, material and color spec — usually cedar natural or vinyl white/tan, max 6 feet.
3. Gate locations and swing direction.
4. A contractor's certificate of insurance.
5. An adjacent-neighbor notification form (some HOAs require it).

The three most common denial reasons

• Height over the HOA cap (usually 6 ft in back, 4 ft in side yards).
• Wrong color stain — many HOAs require semi-transparent, not solid.
• Corner-lot setback ignored — most HOAs require the fence to sit 10–15 ft off the sidewalk.
