CCRs establish rules for property modifications, exterior appearance, landscaping, and nuisance control. Violations can result in fines or legal action. CCRs typically run with the land and transfer to future owners. CCR requirements vary widely—some are restrictive while others are minimal. Understanding CCRs before purchase is important as they permanently affect property rights.
Pro Tip
Carefully review CCRs before purchase. Restrictive covenants permanently limit property modifications and could affect future resale.
Example
CCRs prohibit exterior color changes without approval, require landscape maintenance standards, and limit vehicle types allowed.
