Homeowner FAQs
COMMON QUESTIONS
Does Heartwood have an HOA?
No — Heartwood does not have a Homeowners Association, and there are no mandatory HOA fees. Enjoy the community's parks, trails, and green spaces with no annual dues registered to your title.
Can I change my exterior paint colour?
All exterior colour changes must be approved and comply with the Heartwood Architectural Guidelines. Submit a request through our team before making any changes.
When does my landscaping need to be complete?
Front and rear yard landscaping must be completed within 12 months (one year) of possession. Refer to your Homeowner Handbook and the Architectural Guidelines for your Phase for full requirements.
What type of fence am I allowed to install?
Fencing must meet Heartwood's approved specifications for material, height, and style. Download the Fence Details document above for full specifications.
Who do I contact for warranty issues?
Warranty claims are handled by your builder. Please contact your builder directly for any issues related to your home.
Are there rules about parking RVs or trailers?
All RVs, trailers, boats, and similar must be parked or stored in an enclosed garage or within a six foot high fence and substantially concealed from public view. Street parking restrictions apply as per the City of Calgary bylaws and the Restrictive Covenant registered on Title.
Can I add a deck or pergola to my backyard?
Decks and outdoor structures require City of Calgary permits and must comply with Heartwood's architectural guidelines. Contact us before starting any project.
Where can I find the Architectural Guidelines?
The full Heartwood Architectural Guidelines and Homeowner Handbook are available for download above.
If I have questions about the inspections, who do I contact?
Your builder is your contact for all questions regarding landscaping deposits, inspection results, and refunds. The developer does not hold a landscaping deposit from individual homeowners.
If I don't meet the minimum landscaping requirements, what happens?
Failure to meet the minimum requirements as per the Architectural Guidelines will result in your deposit being forfeited.
The City of Calgary has different landscaping requirements than what is in the Architectural Guidelines. Which do I have to follow?
You must ensure that your lot is compliant with both sets of guidelines.
My neighbour's landscaping doesn't meet the minimum requirements and they have received their landscaping deposit back. Why?
We endeavour to apply the requirements consistently and objectively. We make an effort to consider all elements in relation to the minimum standards set out in the Landscaping Guidelines. Inspections conducted on properties other than your own will not be discussed.
What is a Vendor's Lien Caveat and why is it on my land Title?
A caveat is a registrable document signalling that there are parties other than the registered owner who have an interest in the land. A caveat can impact the transferability of the property and can restrict its use until the caveat is discharged.
Rohit Communities has a Vendor's Lien Caveat registered on each lot in the subdivision. This caveat remains in place until Rohit Communities can ensure each home is compliant. This caveat is typically discharged from title once architectural and landscaping inspections are passed, inclusive of a fence inspection (to confirm the fence is built and painted according to the requirements listed in the Guidelines). If your home has passed the Architectural and Landscaping inspections, and your fence has been completed in accordance with the Guidelines, please have your lawyer reach our administration department to request a discharge.

From the moment we arrived, we felt that it was a welcoming community where we could truly feel at home. It's a great place to spend time outdoors, relax, and create memories.

Our favourite spot is the Heartwood Storm Pond. We're both stormwater engineers and each contributed to its design — it was one of the first projects we worked on together after we met.
