Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for a Homeowners Association (HOA) are the rules and guidelines that homeowners must follow within the community. These covenants are designed to maintain the neighborhood's appearance, property values, and overall quality of life. They can cover a wide range of topics, such as architectural standards, landscaping requirements, noise restrictions, and rules about pets.
CC&Rs are legally binding and are usually recorded with the county or city, meaning they are enforceable by the HOA. Homeowners agree to these covenants when they purchase property within the HOA's jurisdiction.
