Property OwnershipQuestion 18 of 120
Private CC&Rs recorded by a subdivision developer to control lot use are a form of:
a.Involuntary lien
b.Public zoning ordinance
c.Easement appurtenant
d.Deed restriction
Explanation
Covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) are private deed restrictions that run with the land and govern how lots in a development may be used. They are enforced by the homeowners association or other lot owners, not by the government. Zoning, by contrast, is a public land-use control imposed by government.
