Covenant, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs)

Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are legal rules established by a property developer or homeowners' association that govern how a property within a community can be used and maintained. They outline standards for things like property appearance, building restrictions, landscaping, and other amenities to ensure uniformity and protect property values. Owners agree to follow these rules as part of their property ownership, and violations can lead to fines or legal action. CC&Rs create a framework that balances individual property rights with community standards, promoting a harmonious and well-maintained neighborhood.
