Owen Brown Architectural Committee approval may not be the only approval required. It may also be necessary to obtain approval from a homeowners' association and/or Howard County. Howard County permit information can be obtained by calling 410-313-2455. It is the homeowner's responsibility to obtain all necessary approvals. If there are inconsistencies, the most restrictive criteria or covenants take precedence.

Exterior alterations begun without prior approval of the Owen Brown Architectural Committee are in violation of the Covenants; are at the applicant's own risk. Guidelines to the Owen Brown Covenants are available at the Village Office located in the Owen Brown Community Centeras well as on this site. Questions about the application or review process should be referred to the Covenant Advisor  or Village Manager at 410-381-0202.
