What are CC&Rs and what purpose do they serve?
The covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) are the governing documents that dictate how the homeowners association operates and what rules the homeowners and their tenants and guests must obey. This can include the kinds of architectural changes you can make on your home, rules for using recreation facilities or how many pets you can own. CC&Rs are legally enforceable by the homeowners association, unless a specific provision conflicts with federal, state or local laws. CC&Rs help maintain the value of both individual properties and the community as a whole by establishing standards that owners must comply with.
