Voting of Shares

You may vote by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person or you may vote by submitting a proxy. The method of voting by proxy differs (1) depending on whether you are viewing this Proxy Statement on the Internet or receiving a paper copy, and (2) for shares held as a record holder and shares held in “street name.” If you hold your shares of common stock as a record holder and you are viewing this Proxy Statement on the Internet, you may vote by submitting a proxy over the Internet by following the instructions on the website referred to in the Notice previously mailed to you. If you hold your shares of common stock as a record holder and you are reviewing a paper copy of this Proxy Statement, you may vote your shares by completing, dating and signing the proxy card that was included with the Proxy Statement and promptly returning it, in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided to you, or by submitting a proxy over the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on the proxy card. If you hold your shares of common stock in street name, which means that your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you will receive a notice from your broker, bank or other nominee that includes instructions on how to vote your shares. Your broker, bank or other nominee will allow you to deliver your voting instructions over the Internet and may also permit you to vote by telephone. In addition, you may request paper copies of the Proxy Statement and proxy card from your broker by following the instructions on the notice provided by your broker.

The Internet and telephone voting facilities will close at 11:59 p.m. EDT on May 12, 2015.10, 2016. If you vote through the Internet, you should be aware that you may incur costs to access the Internet, such as usage charges from telephone companies or Internet service providers and that these costs must be borne by you. If you vote over the Internet or by telephone, then you need not return a written proxy card by mail.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT.You should submit your proxy even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting. If you properly give your proxy and submit it to us in time to vote, one of the individuals named as your proxy will vote your shares as you have directed. Any stockholder attending the Annual Meeting may vote in person even if he or she previously submitted a proxy.

All shares entitled to vote and represented by properly submitted proxies (including those submitted electronically, telephonically and in writing) received before the polls are closed at the Annual Meeting, and not revoked or superseded, will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated on those proxies. If no direction is indicated on a proxy, your shares will be voted as follows:FOR each of the five (5) nominees for director named in the Proxy Statement, andFOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.2016. With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the Annual Meeting or any continuation, postponement or adjournment thereof, the proxy-holders will vote as recommended by our Board, or if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.

Revocation of Proxy

If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting by taking any of the following actions:

•

Written notices of revocation and other communications with respect to the revocation of Company proxies should be addressed to:

Century Communities, Inc.

Attention: Corporate Secretary

If your shares are held in “street name,” you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee. You must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to find out how to do so. See below regarding how to vote in person if your shares are held in street name.

VotinginVoting in Person

If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person, you will be given a ballot at the Annual Meeting. Please note, however, that if your shares are held in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, and you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must bring to the Annual Meeting a legal proxy from the record holder of the shares, which is the broker or other nominee, authorizing you to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Stockholders who wish to attend the Annual Meeting will be required to present verification of ownership of our common stock, such as a bank or brokerage firm account statement, and will be required to present a valid government-issued picture identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, to gain admittance to the Annual Meeting. No cameras, recording equipment, electronic devices, large bags, briefcases or packages will be permitted in the Annual Meeting.

Quorumand Votes Required

The inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting will tabulate votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting. The inspector of elections will also determine whether a quorum is present. In order to constitute a quorum for the conduct of business at the Annual Meeting, a majority in voting power of all of the shares of the stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Shares that abstain from voting on any proposal, or that are represented by broker non-votes (as discussed below), will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Brokers or other nominees who hold shares of common stock in “street name” for a beneficial owner of those shares typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on “routine” proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. However, brokers are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the election of directors or for the approval of matters which the New York Stock Exchange (which we refer to as the “NYSE”) determines to be “non-routine,” without specific instructions from the beneficial owner. These non-voted shares are referred to as “broker non-votes.” If your broker holds your common stock in “street name,” your broker will vote your shares on “non-routine” proposals only if you provide instructions on how to vote by filling out the voter instruction form sent to you by your broker with this Proxy Statement. Only Proposal No. 2 (ratifying the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm) is considered a routine matter. Proposal No. 1 (election of directors) is not considered a routine matter, and without your instruction, your broker cannot vote your shares. In addition, pursuant to our bylaws, abstentions will not be counted as a vote case “for” or “against” any proposal.

Proposal No. 1:Election of Directors. A plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of directors. Accordingly, the five (5) director nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not treated as votes cast, and, therefore, will not have any effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

Proposal No. 2::Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required for the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.2016. Abstentions will not be counted either for or against this proposal. Brokers generally have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm, and thus, broker non-votes are generally not expected to result from the vote on Proposal No. 2.

Solicitationof Proxies

Our Board is soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting from our stockholders. We will bear the entire cost of soliciting proxies from our stockholders. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by delivery of the Notice or this Proxy Statement by mail, we will request that brokers, banks and other nominees that hold shares of our common stock, which are beneficially owned by our stockholders, send Notices, proxies and proxy materials to those beneficial owners and secure those beneficial owners’ voting instructions. We will reimburse those record holders for their reasonable expenses. We do not intend to hire a

proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation of proxies. We may use several of our regular employees, who will not be specially compensated, to solicit proxies from our stockholders, either personally or by Internet, telephone, facsimile or special delivery letter.

Stockholder List

A list of stockholders eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for inspection, for any purpose germane to the Annual Meeting, at the principal executive office of the Company during regular business hours for a period of no less than ten (10) days prior to the Annual Meeting.

Forward-LookingStatements

This Proxy Statement contains “forward-looking statements” (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These statements are based on our current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties, which may cause results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. The forward-looking statements may include statements regarding actions to be taken by us. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect our business, particularly those mentioned in the risk factors in Item 1A of our 20142015 Annual Report and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Board Nominees

Our Board currently consists of five (5) members, three (3) of whom are independent within our director independence standards, which satisfy the listing standards for independence of the NYSE and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which we refer to as the “Exchange Act”). Based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board (which we refer to as the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”), our Board nominated each of the Company’s current directors for re-election at the Annual Meeting.

Our Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believe the current directors collectively have or will have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to effectively oversee the management of the Company, including a high degree of personal and professional integrity, an ability to exercise sound business judgment on a broad range of issues, sufficient experience and background to have an appreciation of the issues facing the Company, a willingness to devote the necessary time to boardBoard duties, a commitment to representing the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and a dedication to enhancing stockholder value.

Each director elected at the Annual Meeting will serve a one (1)-year term until the Company’s next annual meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy-holders will vote the proxies received by them for the five (5) nominees named below. If any of the nominees is unable, or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee designated by the present Board to fill the vacancy. It is not presently expected that any of the nominees named below will be unable or will decline to serve as a director. If additional persons are nominated for election as directors, the proxy-holders intend to vote all proxies received by them in a manner to assure the election of as many of the nominees listed below as possible. In such event, the specific nominees to be voted for will be determined by the proxy-holders.

Set forth below are the names, ages and positions of our directors as of the date of this Proxy Statement:

A director elected by our Board to fill a vacancy will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier retirement, resignation, disqualification, removal or death.

If any nominee should become unavailable for election prior to the Annual Meeting, an event that currently is not anticipated by our Board, the proxies will be voted in favor of the election of a substitute nominee or nominees proposed by our Board.

When considering whether directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable our Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of the Company’s business and structure, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our Board focused primarily on the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth above. Although diversity may be a consideration in the selection of directors, the Company and our Board do not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees.

Board Leadership Structure

Our current leadership structure permits the roles of Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer to be filled by the same or different individuals. Effective as of April 30, 2013, Dale Francescon assumed the role of Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer, with Robert J. Francescon assuming the role of

Co-Chief Executive Officer and President. Our Board has determined this structure to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders at this time due to both Dale Francescon’s and Robert J. Francescon’s extensive experience with the Company and in the homebuilding industry.

Director Independence

Under the listing requirements and rules of the NYSE, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, NYSE rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and compensation committee members must satisfy heightened independence criteria set forth in NYSE rules. Under NYSE rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if the company’s board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the company, either directly or indirectly, that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Our Board has undertaken a review of its composition, the composition of its committees and the independence of each director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each of our directors concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships with us, our senior management and our independent registered public accounting firm, our Board has determined that all but two (2) of our directors, Dale Francescon and Robert J. Francescon, are independent directors under the standards established by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (which we refer to as the “SEC”) and the NYSE. In making this determination, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence.

Board Meetings

Our Board held 10seven (7) meetings during fiscal year 2014.2015. During fiscal year 2014,2015, all incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the combined total of (i) all Board meetings and (ii) all meetings of committees of our Board of which the incumbent director was a member. All directors are generally expected to attend the annual meeting of stockholders.

Executive Sessions

Our non-management independent directors have the opportunity to meet in executive sessions without management to consider such matters as they deem appropriate.appropriate, such as reviewing the performance of management.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Summary

We believe that the primary goal of executive compensation is to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders in a way that allows us to attract and retain the best executive talent. We have adopted compensation policies with respect to, among other things, setting base salaries, awarding bonuses and making future grants of equity awards to our executive officers. The Compensation Committee has designed a compensation program that is intended to reward favorable stockholder returns, stock appreciation, the Company’s competitive position within the homebuilding industry and each executive officer’s long-term career contributions to the Company.

The compensation components designed to further these goals take the form of base salary, annual cash incentive compensation, as well as long-term equity incentives measured by Company and/or individual performance targets as established by the Compensation Committee.

The following are operational and financial highlights for 2014:2015:

•

•

•

•     The Company exceeded targeted pre-tax income growth by 39 percentage points. The Company’s projections called for pre-tax income growth of 32%, while the Company achieved actual pre-tax income growth of 71%.

•     Entered the Las Vegas, Nevada, Houston, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia markets through the acquisition of homebuilders and the deployment of $235 million in capital.

Compensation Philosophy

Given the small size of the Company’s current executive team, each Executive has assumed responsibilities beyond what is generally found for similar executives in comparable organizations.companies. Many of these additional responsibilities directly impact the growth of the Company. Further, the Company emphasizes performance-based compensation elements, with superior performance resulting in above market pay, and underwhelming performance resulting in below marketbelow-market pay. As such, the Compensation Committee has determined that fixed compensation (i.e., base salary) should be targeted at approximately the market median, with performance-based incentive compensation opportunities resulting in Total Direct Compensationtotal direct compensation that ranges from well below the market median to the top quartile of the market (based on performance). The Compensation Committee has determined that Targettarget award levels will align Total Direct Compensationtotal direct compensation with approximately the market median, and Maximummaximum award levels will align Total Direct Compensationtotal direct compensation with approximately the market 75th percentile.

Competitive Considerations

We strive to compensate our executive officers competitively relative to industry peers. To ensure reasonableness and competitiveness of the Company’s compensation package relative to the industry, the Compensation Committee regularly evaluates the Company’s peer group with the aid of its independent consultant, Compensation & Benefit Solutions, LLC,CBS, and with input from management. Data from the Company’s peer group is therefore considered in the compensation benchmarking process as one input in helping to determine appropriate pay levels.

In establishing compatibility between the Company and the members of the peer group, the following factors are considered:

•

•

•     Revenue

•

•

Based on these considerations, the following were selected as the Company’s peer group for 20142015 in analyzing the market competitiveness of the Company’s executive compensation programs.

While the Company is below certain of the selected peers in terms of market capitalization, revenue and assets, the peer group was selected in order to approximate where the Company reasonably expects to be in the near term, while including companies that have experienced similar growth. Further, while the Company ranks at approximately the 34^th percentile for revenue amongst the peer group companies, and in the bottom quartile for market capitalization, the Company ranks 2^nd among the peer group companies for 1-year Total Shareholder Return (which we refer to as “TSR”) (3-year and 5-year TSR comparisons are not available as the Company has not been publicly traded for the requisite length of time for those measurements). Given the Company’s current position relative to the peer group and the projected growth of the Company, we believe that the selected peer group is appropriate for purposes of benchmarking compensation.

Named Executive Officer Compensation

Our named executive officers (which we refer to as our “NEOs”) for fiscal year 20142015 were Dale Francescon, our Co-Chief Executive Officer (which we refer to as our “Co-CEO”), Robert J. Francescon, our Co-CEO, and David Messenger.L. Messenger, our Chief Financial Officer (which we refer to as our “CFO”). The following is a summary of the elements of our compensation arrangements paid to our NEOs for fiscal year 2014,2015, as well as a summary of the elements to be paid to our NEOs for fiscal year 2015.2016.

In general, our compensation program emphasizes variable, at-risk, pay elements as a significant portion of each NEO’s total compensation package. For 2015, the breakdown of variable, at-risk, pay compared to fixed pay (i.e., base salary) for our Co-CEOs and CFO is as follows:

The composition of the 2015 total compensation for the Co-CEOs and CFO is as follows:

Annual Base Salary

Base salary is designed to compensate our NEOs at a fixed level of compensation that provides some financial certainty and security for our NEOs, and also serves as a retention tool throughout the executive’s career. In determining base salaries, the Compensation Committee considers many things, including each executive’s roles and responsibilities, unique skills, future potential with the Company, salary levels for similar positions in our market and internal pay equity.

18

Typically, annual proxy compensation information is available for the top five executives. While a Co-CEO executive structure is not commonly found in the marketplace, we believe our leadership structure is appropriate in light of our historical growth and expected future development. Further, the absence of other leadership positions within the Company’s executive team, such as a Chief Operating Officer, that are otherwise generally found on the leadership teams of other companies, requires our executives to perform multiple roles and take on additional responsibilities that would otherwise not be required of CEOs. Therefore, due toAs such, when determining compensation amounts for the year, the Compensation Committee takes into account the fact that the Company has two CEOs thatCo-CEOs who each perform a broad range of duties which would generally be spread over a number of executive positions as described above, the Company benchmarked their compensation using the average compensation amounts for both the CEO and President/COO positions of the peers, weighting each position equally. The same benchmark data was utilized for both CEOs.above.

For 2014, the Compensation Committee determined that our Co-CEOs’ base salaries, as well as that of our CFO, were below market, and therefore determined that an increase was warranted. Because the Company seeks to align fixed compensation with approximately the market median, while providing opportunities for additional compensation through its incentive compensation plans, for 2014, the Compensation Committee set the base salary of our Co-CEOs at $750,000 each, which was approximately the market median, and set the base salary of our CFO at $400,000, which was also approximately the market median.

The Compensation Committee reevaluated NEO compensation relative to the market data in early 2015 and determined that the base salaries of itsour NEOs for 2015 remained consistent with the Company’s market, and asexcept for the 2015 base salary of our CFO, which was slightly below market. As such, no base salary adjustments will bewere made for our Co-CEOs in 2015, while the base salary for our CFO was increased by $25,000 to $425,000 for 2015. Base salaries of our executive officersNEOs for 20132014 and 20142015 are reflected in the following table:

Short-Term Incentive—Cash Bonus (“STI”(which we refer to as “STI”)

Annual cash bonuses are designed to incentivize our NEOs at a variable level of compensation based on the Company’s as well as the individual’s performance. In connection with our annual cash bonus program, the Compensation Committee determines annual performance criteria that are flexible and that change with the needs of our business. Our annual cash bonus program is designed to reward the achievement of specific financial and operational objectives.

Co-CEOs

For fiscal year 2013,2015, Dale Francescon’s and Robert J. Francescon’s bonuses were calculated pursuant to formulas detailed in their respective employment agreements and based on the satisfaction and performance of the following maximum level goals established by the compensation committee. Despite maximum performance, the bonuses earned by our Co-CEOs in 2013 were determined to be significantly below the market median. Accordingly, for 2014, the Compensation Committee recommended an increase in the bonus award opportunities for each of our Co-CEOs. The Compensation Committee established Targettarget STI awards equal to 150% of base salary, with a Maximummaximum award opportunity of 200% of Targettarget (i.e., 300% of base salary) and a Thresholdthreshold award level of 50%66.67% of Targettarget (i.e., 75%100% of base salary). Following the review of 2014 compensation conducted in early 2015, the Compensation Committee determined that the short-term incentive award levels for the Co-CEOs be maintained in 2015.

For 2014,2015, the Compensation Committee, in considering the performance metrics that should apply in calculating our Co-CEOs’ short-term incentive awards, determined that the performance metrics should continue to be based on overall companyCompany performance as opposed to individual performance. The Compensation Committee furthermore determined that the most important measures of Company success, which should form the basis of our Co-CEOs’ annual bonus, were number of closings, revenue and EBITDA. The Compensation Committee then set the Targettarget for each measure using the Company’s projected business plan for 20142015 (i.e., as the amount in the target business plan presented to our Board). Threshold was set at 85% of Target,target, and Maximummaximum was set at 115% of Target.target.

All performance metrics are equally weighted in determining our Co-CEOs’ annual bonuses. If Thresholdthreshold level is not achieved with respect to a given performance metric, then no payout is made with respect to that metric.

19

The performance metrics, and the performance levels attached to each, as well as actual performance, are reflected in the following table.

__________________

(1)  For purposes of calculating EBITDA for 2014, transaction expenses and bonuses were excluded.

CFO

The Compensation Committee determined that our CFO’s STI award for 2013 was significantly below the market median. In light of the Company’s compensation philosophy to provide incentive award opportunities that range from below market median (in the case of poor performance) to at or above the market 75th percentile (in the case of outstanding performance), the Compensation Committee determined that our CFO’s Targettarget STI award should be set at approximately 75% of the recommended base salary, with a Maximummaximum award opportunity of 267% of Targettarget (i.e., approximately 200% of base salary) and a Thresholdthreshold award level of 50% of Targettarget (i.e., 37.5% of base salary). Following the review of 2014 compensation conducted by the Compensation Committee in early 2015, the Compensation Committee determined that an adjustment to the award levels for our CFO was warranted. As such, for 2015, the target award level for our CFO was set at 100% of base salary, with threshold continuing to be set at 50% of target (which now represented 50% of base salary) and maximum set at 200% of target (which continued to represent 200% of base salary).

The Compensation Committee and our Co-CEOs determined that our CFO’s STI award should continue to be based in part on companyCompany financial performance, as well as individual performance goals. Thus, the Compensation Committee retained Revenuerevenue and EBITDA as performance metrics applicable in determining our CFO’s annual STI award, and also included an individual performance aspect based on specific, identifiable goals. For the financial goals, the same threshold, target and maximum levels were utilized as reflected in the table below. For the individual performance measures, our Co-CEOs make an independent assessment of the degree to which our CFO satisfied the goals. Our CFO’s individual performance goals for 2015 included the following: enhancement of internal controls, including updating process and procedure documents; shareholder relations management and oversight; development and management of financial services earnings; implementation and management of supplier rebate programs; management of risk exposures; and other relevant goals. The two financial performance metrics and the individual performance goals were equally weighted in determining our CFO’s annual STI payment.

The economic performance metrics for our CFO, and the performance levels attached to each, as well as actual performance, are reflected in the following table.

__________________

(1)  For purposes of calculating EBITDA for 2014, transaction expenses and bonuses were excluded.

In the case of our Co-CEOs as well as our CFO, the Compensation Committee determined that the above target award opportunities detailed above were in line with the market median for the Company’s peer group.

Although the Compensation Committee believes that the established bonus levels are reasonable, as a matter of governance best practice, the Compensation Committee retains negative discretion to reduce the size of any awards if the Compensation Committee believes that it is in the best interests of the Company.

For 2014,2015, our Co-CEOs and our CFO earned cash bonuses based on maximum performance in nearly all companyCompany and individual categories.categories (with the exception being revenue which was between the target and maximum). Despite hitting and significantly exceeding their performance goals, the Co-CEOs suggested, and the Compensation Committee determinedagreed, that it wouldthe Compensation Committee should exercise its negative discretion to reduce the awards, because the Company is in the early stages of being publicly traded, and there is not a lot of performance history since the Company became publicly traded. Therefore, the Compensation Committee set our Co-CEOs’ STI bonus at 75%67% of the maximum. Our Co-CEOs, for the same reasons described above, also determined that they would exercise negative discretion with respect to STI to be paid to our CFO, and set his award at 75%approximately 71% of the maximum. The following table shows the STI cash awards paid to each of our executive officers for 20132014 and 2014.2015.

The amounts reflected are 75% of the amounts actually earned by our NEOs under the STI Plan, which were reduced by 25% pursuant to the exercise of negative discretion by the Compensation Committee and our Co-CEOs.

Long-Term Incentive—Equity Awards

In fiscal year 2013,2014, we began providing time-basedperformance-based equity awards to our NEOs pursuant to our First Amended & Restated 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2013 LTI Plan”(which we refer to as the “Plan”). Time-vested equity awards are designed to focus and reward our NEOs on our long-term goals and enhance stockholder value. In determining equity awards, the Compensation Committee takes into account our overall financial performance. The awards made under our 2013 Long-Term Incentivethe Plan in 20132015 were granted to recognize such individuals’ efforts on our behalf, and to provide aan additional incentive and retention element to their overall compensation package.

2013 Time-Based Grants

In 2013, the Company granted each of our CEOs 63,000 shares of restricted stock, which vest ratably over three years. The Company also granted our CFO 12,500 shares of restricted stock, which also vest ratably over three years.

2014 Pre-IPO Grants

In 2014, the Compensation Committee determined that it should make pre-IPO grants to our executive officers, in order to reward them for their significant contributions to the Company in moving toward an IPO, and to incentivize them to make every effort necessary to ensure that the IPO was achieved. In determining the amount of such awards, the Compensation Committee considered the practices of our peer group. Based on the size of historic peer pre- and post-IPO award grants, as well as general best practices for determining such grants, the Compensation Committee determined that pre-IPO grants of stock valued at $1.5 million for each of the CEOs, and $1 million for our CFO, were appropriate. This resulted in grants to each of the CEOs of 70,093 shares of restricted stock, and 46,729 shares to our CFO; all awards vest ratably over a three-year period, measured from the date of grant.

20142015 Performance-Based Grants

In additionSimilar to the pre-IPO grants,2014, the Compensation Committee determined that each of our Co-CEOs and our CFO should receive performance-based awards under the 2013 LTI Plan. Following discussions with management, the Compensation Committee recommended that the Company utilize a one-year performance period for the initial Plan year, as rapid growth and capital structure changes were expected in the upcoming year and long-term performance would be difficult to forecast at the time of grant. Based on these considerations, the Compensation Committee determined that it would utilize Pre-Tax Income growth over the prior year as the primary metric, as this metric is truly indicative of the success of the Company at this stage of its growth.

Awards would be granted based on achievement of the selected performance metric at the following levels:

Target LTI award sizes for our Co-CEOs were determined to be 150% of Base Salary,base salary, subject to satisfaction of performance-based goals. Threshold performance would dictate an award of 50%66.67% of Targettarget (i.e., 75%100% of Base Salary)

base salary), and

21

maximum performance would result in an award of 200% of Targettarget (i.e., 300% of Base Salary)base salary). Our Co-CEOs earned a 20142015 LTI award equivalent to approximately $2,250,000 due to achievement of the Maximummaximum performance criteria.

The Targettarget LTI award for our CFO was set at approximately 75%117.6% of base salary, with a Maximummaximum award opportunity of 200%170% of Targettarget (i.e., 150%200% of base salary) and a Thresholdthreshold award level of 50%30% of Targettarget (i.e., 37.5%35% of base salary). Based upon a base salary of $400,000, Target$425,000, target LTI would be $300,000$500,000 with a Maximummaximum award opportunity of $600,000$850,000 and a Thresholdthreshold award level of $150,000. Our CFO earned a 20142015 LTI award equivalent to approximately $600,000$850,000 due to achievement of the Maximummaximum performance criteria.

LTI awards are paidgranted in the form of shares of restricted common stock units of the Company, which is valued aswhere one restricted stock unit equals the right to receive one share of the date of transfer.common stock when such restricted stock unit vests. The LTI awards of restricted stock awardsunits that were earned based on 20142015 performance were transferredgranted in early 2015,2016, and will vest over a three-year period.

Tax Deductibility of Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, limits the amount of compensation in excess of $1,000,000 that the Company may deduct in any one year with respect to its chief executive officer and three other most highly compensated executive officers (excluding the chief financial officer) whose compensation must be included in this proxy statement because they are the most highly compensated executive officers.. There are exceptions to the $1,000,000 limitation for performance-based compensation meeting certain requirements. The Company believes that it has satisfied all of the requirements for the STI and LTI awards granted under our First Amended & Restated 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan to qualify as “performance-based” within the meaning of Section 162(m), so that it is fully deductible by the Company without regard to the $1,000,000 limit.

This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of banks and brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will be householding our proxy materials. A single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received

notice from your bank or broker that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please notify your bank or broker, direct your written request to Century Communities, Inc., 8390 East Crescent Parkway, Suite 650, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111, Attn:Attention: Investor Relations, or contact Investor Relations by telephone at (303) 268-8398. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their bank or broker.
