If I have an existing pond on my property that I will partially fill in, then enlarge on the opposite end, am I required to get approval from the Homeowner’s Association? This doesn’t affect any easements and the natural drainage will remain the same. Thanks in advance for your reply.
There is no easy answer to this, though the answer is probably yes. You would have to review your HOA documents to see what kinds of activities require HOA approval, but, in my experience, most HOAs would require it for something that substantial.
