CC&Rs
Also known as Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions
The recorded rules governing what homeowners can and can't do within a planned community or HOA.
In plain English
CC&Rs are the legally recorded rules for a community (covering things like exterior paint colors, fence types, parking, and pets) that every owner in the community is bound by, typically enforced by the HOA.
Read the CC&Rs before buying into any HOA community. They can restrict things you might assume are entirely up to you, like renting out the property.
