Building in Timber Ridge/ Property Improvements
All building and construction standards are governed by the Archuleta County building codes. A construction permit and a county building permit are required to start construction or site preparation. Prior to applying for building permits from the county, your plans must have already been approved by the Timber Ridge HOA Improvement Review Committee (IRC).
The ultimate governing document for new construction and property improvement in Colorado’s Timber Ridge subdivision is the Declaration of Protective Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (View all Governing Documents here)

Legislative Changes Affecting Colorado Common Interest Communities
Effective August 6, 2008, HB2008-1270 give property owners the right to install devices that generate solar or wind energy despite restrictive covenants to the contrary. Additionally, owners can install and maintain energy saving devices (i.e. awnings, shutters, trellises, ramadas, shade structures, attic or garage fans/vents, evaporative coolers, outdoor lighting, clotheslines, etc.). These rights, however, are subject to reasonable architectural controls.
