Step 2 - Review

Application is given to RAC & published in the "Oakland Mills Grist," village newsletter.

RAC members visit property to view site and plans.

RAC discusses application at its next meeting.

Step 3 - Decision

RAC recommends: approval; approval with amendments; or denial; sends to Architectural Chair.

Architectural Chair reviews and issues final decision. Final decision is sent by mail to applicant.

Oakland Mills Architectural Committee approval may not be the only approval required. It may also be necessary to obtain approval from a Homeowners' Association(HOA) and/or Howard County(HC). Howard County permit information can be obtained by calling 410-313-2455. It is the homeowner's responsibility to obtain all necessary approvals. If there are inconsistencies between HOA and OMCA Covenants or HC regulations, the most restrictive criteria or covenant takes precedence.

Exterior alterations begun without prior approval of the Oakland Mills Architectural Committee are in violation of OMCA Covenants and are at the applicant's own risk. Guidelines to the Oakland Mills Covenants are available at the Village Office located in the Other Barn, 5851 Robert Oliver Place OR Click here to view the "OMCA Architectural Guidelines".
Questions about the application or review process should be referred to the Covenant Advisor at 410-730-4610 or Email: omcacov@columbiavillages.org

"Letter of Compliance"        Did you know that when you sell your home you can ask the Covenant Advisor for a “Letter of Compliance”? To receive a “Letter of Compliance” a site visit is made and the history of exterior alterations is reviewed. When a “Letter of Compliance” is granted, it indicates that a property is free of covenant and maintenance violations.
   If selling your home,  Click here to download a "Request for Letter of Compliance" form.
   If buying a home in Oakland Mills, contact the covenant advisor at The Other Barn to ensure a
   current “Letter of Compliance” exists for property you are purchasing.
