Howdy Riceland Homeowners!

As previously announced, construction is officially underway on the Lakehouse Amenity Center. This much anticipated space will become the heart of Riceland, featuring a fitness center, outdoor gathering areas, space for community events, and, thanks to resident feedback, a dog park for our four-legged friends. We are excited to see it take shape and will continue sharing progress updates as it develops.

Friendly Reminder: Quarterly assessments are due October 1st. You can pay through the payment portal or by mail, and setting up recurring payments is encouraged to avoid late fees. For added convenience, you can also set up to receive electronic statements here.

If you have questions about your account, we are happy to help!

As more neighbors plan home projects this season, it’s a good time to remind everyone about the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) process. Submitting your project for review helps keep Riceland looking beautiful and consistent.

• Submit an application – All exterior modifications require a Residential Modification Application.
• Include a lot survey – Be sure to attach your property survey when your project involves additions, fences, patios, pools, or anything affecting placement on your lot.
• Allow time for review – The ARC has up to 45 days once a complete application is submitted.
• Wait for written approval – Don’t begin work until you receive confirmation.
• Provide details – Include drawings, photos, and product info to avoid delays.
• Why it matters – ARC review helps maintain Riceland’s curb appeal and property values.

When in doubt, ask first. We are always here to assist you with an questions!

We are thrilled to have you here with us at Riceland! Our events offer a wonderful opportunity to meet your neighbors and make new friends. Please note, these events are exclusive to Riceland residents, and registration is required to attend. To register, simply create an account at myriceland.com.
