Basketball Hoops

08/21/2023

Ever wonder what the specific LARMAC rules are for basketball hoops in the community?  If so, a quick review of the Aesthetic Standards will guide you through the process to find out where you can place a basketball hoop and/or install a basketball backboard on your home.  Note - Basketball hoops may not be stored on LARMAC property (i.e. private streets/drives/sidewalks, alleyways, common area landscape, etc.).   Any basketball hoops being stored on LARMAC property are subject to immediate removal.   

Section V. D. of the Aesthetic Standards states:
Basketball Backboards
Basketball backboards may be freestanding or attached to the house.
  • Basketball backboards attached to the house must have the backboard and all attachments painted to match adjacent surfaces or be transparent to reduce their prominence on the building elevation.
  • Basketball backboards that are freestanding and portable must be stored at the top of the driveway when not in use. Portable basketball backboards that are stored on LARMAC-maintained streets or common areas may be removed and disposed of if not relocated to a proper storage area after written notice.
  • The County of Orange currently has regulations against these items in the public right of way and the County of Orange may enforce these provisions.
  • Basketball backboards that are freestanding and permanent may not be placed closer to the street than the front plane of the home and may not exceed 14 feet in height. Please note that basketball backboards of this type are subject to review and approval by the Aesthetic Review Committee (ARC) prior to installation.
  • Basketball backboards must be well maintained at all times, including the net. If a transparent backboard is used, it shall be free of cracks, fogging, stress lines, etc. which blur the backboard.
**Please note that LARMAC does not enforce County ordinances.  For those who live on County of Orange streets (rather than private LARMAC-maintained streets) please contact the County at  (866) 552-8120 or visit their website at  MyOCeServices
