How do I get prior approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) for construction, alterations, improvements, and/or modifications to my property?
You'll need to submit a written application to the ACC. The ACC will make a ruling on your application in writing, if requested, within 30 days of your application submission to any member of the committee.

Your written application should include:
Construction plans and specifications.

Materials being used (building materials, roof materials, etc.).

Are you pouring concrete?

Square footage and dimensions.

Colors of outside building, brick, roof, and trim.
- A plan showing the location of the structure (distance from rear property line, side property lines, front property line, distance from the home).
- Request to receive the ACC’s ruling on the application in writing (if you'd like to receive the ruling in writing).
The ACC will evaluate your application for quality of workmanship and materials, harmony of external design with existing structures, and the location with respect to topography and finish grade elevation.

The HOA recommends you submit your written application to the ACC through the RowCal Management Portal. When completing the ACC Approval Application, you'll have the ability to upload any document files or images that you'd like to include with the application. Immediately after submitting your ACC Approval Application through the Request Manager you'll be sent an email confirmation that your form was submitted to and received by the HOA's site. The site will then forward your request and any uploaded/attached application files to the ACC for their review.

Why doesn't the HOA have regular operating hours?

Since the HOA owns no property, we have no HOA office or common area for conducting HOA business. We have no full-time or part-time employees. Instead, the HOA relies on members to volunteer their free time. Board members, committee members, and HOA volunteers are not paid for their time or services. And, since we are relying on volunteers, we ask that all members please understand that our volunteers aren't usually able to immediately answer HOA related requests.

However, the HOA has employed RowCal HOA Property Managment and they are available 24/7.

How do I switch from Taylor Electric to AEP?

The original electric provider for all of the homes built in Remington Estates was Taylor Electric. When this subdivision was first being built Taylor Electric was the only option. And, while Taylor Electric generally provides great service, their prices are quite a bit higher than most of the other electric companies in the Abilene area.

The journey to switch from Taylor Electric to AEP Texas began in the summer of 2014 (or earlier). We have a few of our neighbors to thank for getting the ball rolling for all of us to be able to access more affordable electric providers. So, to them we definitely want to say THANK YOU!

If you’re interested in switching over, there's a simple packet of information from AEP that you'll need to receive, fill out, and send back in. AEP will basically handle the rest from there. BUT, please be aware that the switch over process is not quick. It takes several weeks to a few months after submitting your packet paperwork for your switch over to be completed.

There is a fee associated with switching over. Most of our neighbors who've made the switch made that money back in savings within the first 6 to 12 months of switching.
