Highlands Ranch is unincorporated, so building permits come from Douglas County, not a city. Many homes have unfinished basements and builder decks that owners upgrade.
HOA approval
The Highlands Ranch Community Association reviews many exterior changes, including decks, paint colors and additions. Submit before you schedule work.
