Frequently Asked Questions

The following are a list of frequently asked questions regarding bylaws/covenants:


It's an election year. Can we post a small political sign in our yard?

  • While we are all for civic engagement, article III, section 10 of the covenants prohibit the posting political campaign signs within the neighborhood.
  • The only allowable signs per the covenants are signs required for legal proceedings, signs with prior written approval by the board or ARC, and a sign which is professionally lettered, measuring no more than 4 square feet, and placed by a builder in the process of constructing improvements (or an owner seeking to sell the lot).


I've seen a [pet/animal] roaming freely in the neighborhood. What can be done?

  • Article III, Section 8 of the Spence’s Field covenants provides that:
    • [p]ets shall be under leash when walked or exercised on any unfenced area.
    • Any pet owner walking their pet shall carry a device for removing dog feces; feces must be immediately removed by the owner of the dog or the person responsible for the dog.
    • Upon the written request of any Lot Owner, the Board of Directors of the Association shall conclusively determine whether, in its sole and absolute discretion, for the purpose of this section, a particular animal or bird is a generally recognized house pet [or] is a nuisance….”
  • Fulton County ordinance 34-205 prohibits owners from allowing their dogs to run at large. The applicable county ordinance has been adopted by the City of Alpharetta in its ordinances 4-1 and 4-2.
