Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs)

Convenants Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) are also recorded and are a public document. If your association is missing a recorded official copy, your title company can get it for you.

In a nutshell, the CC&Rs cover how the property is to be used and taken care of. They bind the owners contractually to the project. Even if you didn’t receive a copy of it during escrow.

The CC&Rs contain “Use Restrictions” on a variety of issues such as pets, parking, and even rental. Sometimes they contain restrictions on flooring as well. CC&Rs also include what the association will maintain and repair and what the individual owner is responsible for.

CC&Rs are amendable subject to the voting guidelines stated in the CC&Rs. Usually the voting guidelines are high.

The CC&Rs are usually one of the most important documents because it does limit what the property owners are allowed to do.

It is filed with the state and is by definition public and can be requested to the Secretary of State for California. The articles give the name of the association, and clearly states that the association is non-profit mutual benefit corporation formed to manage a common interest development. They are amendable, but this happens very infrequently.

Subdivision Map or Condo Plan

Subdivision maps divide the land into “lots” in a planned development. The condominium plan breaks up the land or airspace into “units.” Both types of documents are recorded with the county recorder and are public record. The map or plan defines “common area” or “exclusive common use area” versus “separate interests” (lot or unit). That way, areas such as balconies and/or patios are defined.

The Home Owner Association (HOA) Governing Documents – What are they and why should I care?

When you buy into a condo, you always get the condo paperwork, which includes a huge stack of papers that buyers usually don’t read. But you really should review the HOA governing docs. You may not read them item by item, but you should be familiar with what they are and what they accomplish.

The HOA governing documents are the articles of incorporation, covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs), bylaws, and operating rules. They may also include the subdivision map or condo plan.

We will be reviewing each of them and what they do.
