Short answer: Yes, for any change visible from the exterior, the beach, or the golf course. Interior-only
work generally faces less scrutiny but should still be confirmed with the architectural review committee.
Why it matters: Playacar’s HOA review applies to renovations, not just new construction — a common
surprise for buyers of older homes planning updates.
What to check:
● Confirm with the HOA architectural review committee before assuming interior work is exempt
● Budget two to four weeks for HOA approval on a complete submission
● Get documentation complete on the first submission — incomplete packages are what typically
extend approval time
Bottom line: Even interior-feeling renovations can trigger review if they touch anything visible — check
with the HOA before you plan around an assumption.
