DEVELOPER'S CORNER

 Protective Covenants and How to Address Violations

 

Protective Covenants exist for each of the neighborhoods within the community. These covenants were recorded with the original subdivision and follows the land with each new owner.  These covenants vary with each community and govern things like the minimum size of the home and the permissibility of things like fences and out buildings.  Covenants exist to uphold the value of the homes through a consistent standard.  Rules also provide security for new property owners so they know what to expect from their neighbors.

 When new owners purchase through White Rock Real Estate, we provide a copy of the covenants for that community and review them with the new owner.  It has recently come to our attention that non-White Rock real estate agents do not always provide copies of the deed restrictions to buyers nor have they explained that they even exist when they are selling or listing the properties.  This causes problems for the community when residents are seeing covenant violations and want to know how to address them.

 Here’s how:

• It is the adjacent property owner’s responsibility to uphold the covenants because the restrictions are connected to the land and must be enforced by other affected property owners.

 • Each neighborhood should meet to discuss how they would like to cooperatively address these violations.

 • When there is a violation, property owners, collectively or individually, should write a letter as concerned property owners or hire legal council to write the letter.

 • Most violations will be corrected when the violating property owner becomes aware of the issue since most violations are due to a lack of awareness.

 • White Rock Inc. provides copies of the restrictions to anyone who lists or sells thorough our agency and keeps copies on file for all neighborhoods*.

 • We will happily supply copies of the Covenants to your neighborhood group*.

 *Beginning February 1, 2014 there will be a $25 fee for individuals to get copies of Covenants (incl. if part of a White Rock, settlement). Copies of Covenants are also on file with the Franklin County Courthouse and can be obtained there for a fee.
