Homeowners associations in many newer subdivisions around Verona, Sun Prairie, Fitchburg, Waunakee and Middleton have rules about exterior colors. Painting without approval can lead to fines — or being asked to repaint.
1. Read Your Covenants
Start with your HOA's architectural guidelines. Some provide an approved color palette; others simply require you to submit your choices for review.
2. Gather Samples
Most boards want the manufacturer, color name and code for body, trim, and accent colors. Physical samples or painted boards help reviewers see colors in real light.
3. Consider Your Neighbors
Many HOAs don't allow two adjacent homes to share the same color scheme. Photos of the homes on either side can speed up approval.
4. Submit Early
Review timelines vary, so submit well before your painting window. Exterior painting season in Wisconsin is short — see the best time to paint your house exterior.
