Design Review Committee
Most villages in El Dorado Hills require the Design Review Committee or an Architectural Control Committee to approve their project plans prior to performing improvements on the exterior of your home or the building of a new home. You will need to submit a property improvement application prior to starting any exterior property improvement to avoid paying double fees.
Property improvements involving the exterior of your home/property include, but are not limited to, windows, roofing, painting, landscaping, pool construction, room addition, tree removal, fencing, walls, driveway extensions, flatwork, decks, patio covers, siding, sheds, play structures, gazebos, solar, basketball hoops, etc.
DESIGN REVIEW & APPROVAL IS REQUIRED for most exterior property improvements and new home construction in El Dorado Hills.

Design Review Committee Application Process
In order to protect the health and welfare of our community and staff, we have changed the process for submission of Design Review applications until further notice:
- Design Review Committee meetings will be held via teleconference at least bi-weekly on Tuesdays at 8:00am. Deadlines for submission remain 4:00pm on Tuesday prior to the meeting to potentially be reviewed at the meeting.
- Electronic submission of applications and supporting materials is strongly desired as the District’s public counters are closed at this time. Please review the application requirements carefully to ensure you have met all of the requirements for submission.
- If you are unable to submit electronically, there is a drop box located at 1021 Harvard Way in front of the Pavilion
- Please contact the Registration Office with any questions at regoffice@edhcsd.org
