Understanding the Declaration of Covenants of your community is essential for ensuring that you are aware of the rules and restrictions that govern your property. Here's a friendly guide to help you learn about these covenants and where to find them.

The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions(CC&Rs) is a legal document that outlines the rules, regulations, and restrictions governing properties within a community association. It establishes the rights and responsibilities of property owners and the association, helping to maintain the community's standards and protect property values. The Declaration of Covenants covers a wide range of topics, including property use, architectural guidelines, maintenance responsibilities, and enforcement procedures.
