Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs)

Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are legal rules established by a homeowner association or developer that govern the use and management of a community or property. They set standards for property appearance, behaviors, and property rights to maintain consistency and protect property values. CC&Rs often include restrictions on modifications, landscaping, and activities, and they outline residents’ responsibilities and owners’ obligations. By agreeing to these rules when purchasing property, homeowners ensure the community remains well-maintained and desirable for all residents.
