When you're planning to add a patio, screen enclosure, or birdcage to your home in The Villages, one of the first (and most overwhelming) hurdles is getting approval through the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) and securing the right permits. At Sunshine Specialty Structures, we make that process easy, transparent, and stress-free for our homeowners.
What is the ARC, and Why Does It Matter?
In The Villages, any exterior change to your property—whether it’s a decorative wall or a full lanai enclosure—needs to go through the ARC. This committee ensures your project meets community guidelines and keeps neighborhood aesthetics consistent.
Missing a form, incorrect measurements, or even using the wrong color can lead to frustrating delays or denials. That’s where we come in.
We Handle the ARC Submission for You
Our team takes care of:
Preparing and submitting all required ARC documentation
Providing detailed drawings and scope of work
Matching your project to approved materials and color schemes
Following up with ARC meetings and revising plans if needed
We speak their language—so you don’t have to worry about miscommunication or paperwork headaches.
Permits? We’ve Got That Covered Too
Beyond ARC approval, most projects require a permit from the local building department. This includes:
Site plans
Engineering
Product approvals
Scheduling inspections
We take care of the entire permitting process from start to finish, coordinating directly with the county or city on your behalf. This saves you time and helps avoid costly delays.
Why This Matters to You
By handling ARC and permitting in-house, we help:
Speed up your project timeline
Avoid surprise denials or stop-work orders
Reduce stress and confusion
Ensure compliance with both local and community requirements
