CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions)

Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are rules and regulations set by a homeowners' association (HOA) or a developer that govern how property owners can use their properties in a community or neighborhood. These guidelines are designed to maintain property values and ensure a certain aesthetic or lifestyle. For instance, CC&Rs might dictate things like maintaining your lawn, restrictions on paint colors, or rules about noise levels. Homebuyers should review CC&Rs before purchasing a property, as they must agree to abide by these rules. Violating CC&Rs can lead to penalties or legal actions by the HOA.
