Covenants, conditions, and restrictions - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

Covenants, conditions, and restrictions, commonly called �CC&Rs� are a set of rules governing the use of a certain piece of real estate in a given community.

• For example, a CC&R can regulate the fences around a house, the type of garbage cans allowed, and whether parties can open businesses in the community.
• CC&Rs often impose additional duties onto homeowners; in particular, many CC&Rs mandate that homeowners pay upkeep fees in the form of monthly dues.

They are usually enforced by a homeowners� association (HOA), neighborhood associations, or the initial builders / developers of the community. CC&Rs are most frequently seen in planned communities or common interest developments such as condominium complex buildings, industrial parks, or private neighborhoods.�

CC&Rs are usually�recorded�in the county clerk�s office and�run with the land. In many cases, failure to record the CC&Rs will make those CC&Rs unenforceable. If the homeowner violates the recorded CC&Rs, the homeowner�s association or other overseeing entity can impose penalties.
