Planning an exterior repaint in an Orlando HOA? City permits are rarely needed, but color changes usually require ARC approval. This guide shows the quick submittal (color chips, sheen, simple elevation) and when historic districts add extra steps.
• City permits: For typical residential exterior or interior painting, a building permit is usually not required in Orlando and surrounding municipalities.
• HOA/ARC approvals: If your property is in an HOA community, get Architectural Review (ARC) approval before painting, especially for color changes. City rules and HOA rules are separate; you may need both in certain scenarios.
• Historic Districts / Landmarks (Orlando): Some historic overlays require a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for exterior changes, which can include color changes.
• Downtown/Appearance Corridors: Certain zones require appearance approvals for facade alterations
• Pre-approval for any exterior repaint (submit color chips, sheen, and placement for trims/doors).
• Approved palettes and neighborhood harmony (neutral or HOA-specified tones; bold accents often allowed when detailed correctly).
• Sheen standards (e.g., satin on body, semi-gloss on doors/trim).
• Work windows & cleanup expectations (quiet hours, jobsite protection, daily cleanup).
• Licensed & insured professionals; punctual scheduling and a clean jobsite every day.
• Climate-appropriate systems for Florida (advanced sealants, primers, elastomeric/top-tier acrylics) to maximize durability and warranty support.
• Safety & finish quality: Ladders, two-story work, soffits, stucco crack repairs, masking, and controlled spray/back-rolling done right.
DIY risks: adhesion failures from inadequate washing/etching, missed hairline cracks, overspray on roofs/windows, incorrect sheen causing ARC rejections, and voided manufacturer warranties.
