Does the County enforce Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs)?
No, CC&Rs are deed restrictions that represent private agreements between you and the appropriate homeowners within the subdivision, homeowners association and/or board of directors for your neighborhood and are not enforced by the County. The responsibility for enforcement of CC&Rs is placed on the homeowners within the subdivision, homeowners association and/or board of directors. CC&R restrictions cover the type of use and physical development that are permitted on your property, and are often more restrictive in nature than the Countys zoning regulations. You are advised to check with the authority responsible for enforcing the CC&Rs in your neighborhood prior to submitting applications to the County for any construction or development on your property. Following this procedure will minimize the potential for disagreement among neighbors and possible litigation. To obtain a copy of the CC&Rs, contact a local title company or the Humboldt County Recorders Office.
