Exceptions include refreshing what is already in place (e.g., replacing mulch with the same color, replacing dead plants\/shrubs with the same type, repainting siding with the same color, etc.). Applications should be submitted to&nbsp;<strong>architectural@mjsmgt.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lawn Care &amp; Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Homeowners are responsible for maintaining their lots to prevent unsightly, unhealthy, or unkempt conditions. Lawns should be free of debris, excessive weeds (including flower beds), and mowed frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand that lawn maintenance can be time-consuming. If you need help or resources, reach out to <strong>maintenance@portraithillsc.com<\/strong>. Community volunteers are available to assist residents in bringing their yards into compliance, and the Board is willing to work with residents to allow reasonable time for upkeep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parking Reminders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you plan to park at the clubhouse when there is no scheduled event, please email&nbsp;<strong>board@portraithillsc.com<\/strong> with the vehicle details and duration to avoid towing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overnight street parking is&nbsp;<strong>not permitted<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RVs\/Campers may&nbsp;<strong>not<\/strong>&nbsp;be parked on driveways for extended periods.
