All homeowners receive a copy of the Fontana Architectural Design Guidelines when they purchase a house in Fontana. Anyone wishing to build on a home site, or alter the exterior of any structure, including landscaping, fencing, sheds and home additions, must follow the procedure and guidelines described in that document. An application must be submitted to the ARB and the design approved before any building or alteration can begin.
Both documents are available here in electronic form:
The documents are in PDF format. To view them use the Adobe Reader (previously called Acrobat Reader), which you can download for free.
The ARB Application is a PDF form, which means you can save a copy on your computer and fill in the gray areas using the Adobe Reader, then print out the completed form, sign it, and give it to the ARB.
