Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs)

Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are legal guidelines attached to properties, particularly in planned communities or homeowners’ associations. They specify what homeowners can and cannot do with their properties to maintain a certain look and quality of the neighborhood. For example, CC&Rs might regulate landscaping, exterior paint colors, or noise levels. They are designed to protect property values and ensure a harmonious living environment. Homeowners agree to these rules when they purchase property in the community and can face penalties if they don’t comply.
