Before You Pick a Color, Check Your HOA

If you live in an HOA community in Tennessee, there's a good chance your HOA has rules about exterior paint colors. Some require formal approval from an Architectural Review Committee — and painting without it can lead to fines or forced repaints.

How This Tool Works
