Before you rely on this page
ONE RECORDED DOCUMENT GOVERNS EVERY QUAIL RIDGE AT KNOLLWOOD SECTION, and it says so on its own title page: Sections 1 and 2, Quail Ridge at Knollwood II Sections One through Three, Quail Ridge at Knollwood III Sections One and Two, and Quail Ridge at Knollwood South Sections One through Ten, each listed with its plat instrument number. The county carries several of those as separate plat names, which is why this neighborhood has its own page - the rules on it are the same rules. Minimum house sizes still differ by section and lot, so check your own.
All fencing must be approved in writing by the architectural control committee before it is installed. Perimeter fencing is limited to a four-foot wooden split rail fence of two rails and posts, left unpainted and unstained, and privacy fencing up to six feet is allowed only within six feet of a patio next to the house. Invisible electronic pet fences are expressly permitted.
A detached structure needs written committee approval before construction and is capped at 100 square feet of ground coverage and ten feet in height. It must be built behind the house, within thirty feet of it, and at least eight feet from every property line. Section 14 separately bars barns, mini-barns, shacks, tree houses and other prebuilt or temporary buildings from being moved onto or assembled on a lot.
Recreational vehicles, mobile homes, campers, camper trailers, trailers with or without wheels, boats and other watercraft, and boat trailers may be kept only inside an enclosed garage. Vehicles parked in violation may be towed at the cost of the lot owner.
In-ground pools, hot tubs and spas are allowed with prior approval from the architectural control committee. Permanent above-ground pools are not permitted. Fencing around a swimming pool is required, must follow state and local law, and needs written approval.
Nothing may be built, placed or altered on a lot, and the topography or drainage may not be changed, until the architectural control committee approves the plans in writing. Plans must show floor plan, construction quality, materials, exterior colors and location; the committee decides within forty-five days, and approved plans cannot be changed without further written consent.
Outside antennas and dishes are generally prohibited, except that an owner may put up a satellite dish no larger than one meter (39 inches) across, a television broadcast antenna, or an MMDS antenna. It must meet safety codes, be placed where it does not create a nuisance for neighbors, and the committee can require screening shrubs or a color that blends with the home.
Solar panels may be installed on a home or structure, but plans must be submitted to the architectural control committee and approved in writing before any installation begins. Panels should be placed where they blend with the home and must meet building and zoning rules.
Front, side and rear yards must be planted with grass seed or sod within 150 days after the home is finished or occupied, whichever is earlier, unless the committee approves otherwise in writing. Owners must mow so turf never exceeds eight inches, maintain landscaping regularly, and remove dead trees, shrubs and debris. Changes to lot grading or drainage need committee approval.
