About South Ridge

Home construction can begin once the ARB has issued an approval letter and the plans have been signed and stamped. ARB approval is required to secure a building permit from the City of Huntsville. Once the Architectural Plan and Site Plan are approved, no changes may be made without seeking re-approval (additional fees may apply). Construction may begin, subject to all fee and escrow funds paid.

The fees are for LCA administration, garbage pickup, road maintenance reserve, guard services, security company, common area maintenance (including guard house and gates), gas lamps, and all front and side lawn total maintenance. Fees vary based on size of lots (Estate or Cottage) and number of needed garbage receptacles. The quarterly HOA fees for the Veranda Cottage lots are $1,090 ($600 assessment; $124 for the first trash receptacle, $62 for each additional receptacle; $366 yard maintenance) and Parkview Estate lots are $1,240 ($600 assessment; $124 for the first trash receptacle, $62 for each additional receptacle; $516 yard maintenance).

Currently, there is no minimum square footage required. There are limits on the total size and these are regulated by the Slope Development Regulations. Each lot has a unique maximum total building area (building footprint), a maximum impervious lot coverage and a maximum disturbed area.
