With the sudden proliferation of Satellite Dish installations taking place in Academy Heights, the Board of Governors has developed the following guidelines for Satellite Dish Installation:

These guidelines apply to ALL current and future installations in Academy Heights.

Academy Heights Board of Governors has designated certain locations for the installation of satellite dishes within the community.

  1. GROUND MOUNT: Must be located in the rear of lot and may be mounted on masts.
  2. DECK/PORCH SUPPORTS: Must be mounted on DECK/PORCH supports. Dish can be located no higher than the lower roofline in the case of covered porches/decks.
  3. THE PLACEMENT OF SATELLITE DISHES ON THE ROOFS OR BUILDING STRUCTURE OTHER THAN INDICATED IN A AND B ABOVE IS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED.

The following paragraph is extracted from FCC regulations dated May 1996 covering this subject:

“Restrictions necessary for HISTORIC PRESERVATION may also be permitted even if they impair installation, maintenance or use of the antenna.  To qualify for this exemption, the property may be pre-historic, historic district, site, building, structure or object included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.”


Academy Heights is eligible to be included in the National Register of Historic Places and to that end Academy Heights has been working for the past 4 years to attain registered status.

The guidelines for submitting an application for a satellite dish are the same as for any other change to the exterior of the home, that is, application must be submitted thirty (30) days prior to installation.
