Property & Architectural Changes
Property & Architectural Changes l
Kemp Woods continues to standout as one of the most desired neighborhood in the City of Chesapeake with beautiful homes that continue to increase in value. To help maintain the overall beauty and appearance of the neighborhood the Kemp Woods Civic League partners with residents to help them make sure changes and modification adhere to the Covenants, Constitution and Declaration of Restrictions that were established to protect our property values.
KWCL's Architectural Chair and Committee is available for any questions that residents may have as they embark on renovations, updates, upgrades and more. Below are some resources that residents have found helpful when navigating and applying for City permitting and ensuring all changes align with the Kemp Woods Covenants, Constitution and Declaration of Restrictions. Our team is committed to helping each resident through the architectural change process and we welcome you to reach out to our Architectural Chair, Steve Arcipowski by using the Contact Us Link at the bottom of the page if any questions.
If you are ready to get started please complete the Kemp Woods Architectural Change Request Form Found Below:
Architectural Committee's - Guide for Applying for Property Changes
Architectural Committee l
The Architectural Committee is a group of neighbors who volunteer their time to ensure that the homeowners in Kemp Woods adhere to the Covenants, which help maintain and increase our property values. Kemp Woods Covenants are a “legal, binding” document applicable to all residents, Civic League member or not. Please take the time to read through them because they provide the rules we neighbors must consider before moving on with projects such as pools, fences, sheds, etc.

How You Apply For Site Improvement Changes
- Compose a letter describing your project in as much detail as possible.
- Obtain a copy of your plot survey from the City Circuit Court Clerk Office.
- Draw out on your plot survey what and where you wish to place your project. (i.e.: If it is a fence, draw the rough placement on the lot, keeping in mind covenant restrictions.)
- If you have any booklets or literature describing your project, attach a copy to your request.
- Put all of the this information together in an envelope and submit a copy to the Architectural Committee Chairman. Since this position is currently vacant, submit to the KWCL Board.
- The committee has up to 30 days to review your project. Although it may not take that long, keep in mind that this is an all-volunteer committee, and at times we may not have all of our committee members available. Therefore, please plan ahead and submit your plans early, and we will do our best to see that your project moves along quickly.
- For general questions, contact the Board by using the Contact Us link on the Home Page.
