FAQs

Oceanwalk has a committee of residents called the Architectural Review Committee which reviews all changes.  The committee meets the second Monday of each month.  An application, samples, and other supporting documents should be submitted by the first Monday of the month for approval at that meeting.  The committee will inform you of their decision, or ask for more information, immediately following their meeting. 

While ARC approves over 90% of applications on first submission, and over 98% overall, you can make the process easier for yourself by being as specific as possible in your application.  The more information ARC has with regard to your project, and potential impact on your neighbors and the community, the easier it will be for all involved.

Any resident has the ability to appeal an ARC decision to the Oceanwalk Board of Directors.  The board will typically ask the homeowner to appear at their next board meeting for a discussion.

Any approval by ARC does not preclude required approval by the City of Atlantic Beach.  Many projects, including roofs, fences, driveways, and tree removal, will also require permission from the City.
