Deed Restrictions from Seller

The people who came up with this stuff are psychopaths, but other than that it's just a CCR list.

Could use a little organization/editing.

<s>They could just simplify it all to "must always look like a magazine picture, not someplace people actually live." </s>

Glad I don't need to live there.

While some seem a little off, I don't see these as all that bad.?ÿ If you spend $750k on a house you don't want your neighbor parking his big rig in front of your house or setting up an oil derrick in your next to your patio.?ÿ At least they do not dictate house colors and landscaping like some HOAs do.?ÿ In this neck of the woods most of these items would be covered in local zoning ordinances.

Off point:
I owned a home with similar deed restrictions. ...including a list of approved colors and landscaping plants.

Those restrictions had been in place for more than ten years before my purchase, and never enforced.

I ignored them, lived there a decade or so, then moved on.

The easiest way to defeat covenants is to ignore them...

I refuse to?ÿjoin any club?ÿthat would have me as a member. Groucho Marx?ÿ

If I were to choose to build a $750,000 house, the minimum distance to any neighbor's property would be one-quarter mile.

I am guessing there is no municipal zoning bylaws that govern this property??ÿ I agree with just ignoring the restrictions.?ÿ Someone will have to decide to "pay" to enforce such restrictions as it appears there is no homeowners association mentioned.?ÿ My plumber was looking at a house many years ago in a upscale neighborhood with some restrictions on parking commercial vehicles and a prohibition on any commercial activity on the premise.?ÿ So restrictive it did not allow for just having a home office.?ÿ He passed on the house.?ÿ Funny thing he could buy and sell most of the people who live there.?ÿ

I can understand that you would want protection from an oil derrick next door. But if you get bent out of shape about seeing someone drying their clothes, then I suggest using some of that $750,000 to buy enough land so you can't see your neighbors.?ÿ

These look like covenants, not deed restrictions. "Deed restrictions" usualy mean the grantor holds revisinary interest. Convents just enable your nosy neighbors to take you to court (or just threaten) for "damages".?ÿ

These seem ill thought out. "The developer" needs to approve certain garages. What happens when the developer is gone??ÿ

My Homeowners covenants and restrictions (aka: Deed Restrictions) are similar if not more stringent. I personally like them because the keep home values higher than non-restricted developments. ?????ÿ

It depends..... ?????ÿ

@flga-2-2 do they allow Strippers?

Answer: yes, as long as they have a 4 year degree in stripping or a related field, and a professional license from the state licensing authority.

Some homeowners associations are using CC&Rs to keep corporate investors out which are usually bad neighbors which donƒ??t keep their tenants from being neighborhood nuisances.

Around here the distances would be 10 feet. For a quarter mile you would need to add a digit left of the decimal.

For some reason, we are suddenly gaining new arrivals from California and Oregon who are paying cash for some very nice homes with lots of space around them.
