What is a deed restricted community?

A deed restricted community is a development where a homeowners association (HOA) has restrictions in place that prohibit certain actions. These rules are established and enforced by a private entity (the community HOA), not a local government. The goal of these bylaws is to maintain a neighborhood’s aesthetic and support property values.

What are deed restrictions?

The restrictions are part of a home’s legal deed and limit how the real estate can be used. Deed restrictions stay with the deed for the home or land and cannot be removed except through legal proceedings. Anyone who purchases the property must abide by them.

What is a deed-restricted community?

To put it plainly, a deed-restricted community is a complex or development where homeowners can’t do certain actions. Such communities are typically governed by a private entity known as homeowners associations. These associations follow a set of governing documents, which includes the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, & Restrictions (CC&Rs).
