Question: What are Protective Covenents / CC&Rs?
Answer: The term CC&R refers to 'Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions. It is a legal obligation imposed in a deed by the seller of a home and or property upon the buyer of the real estate to do or not to do something. These restrictions are tied with the land and are enforceable on future buyers of any property in the Rachels Landing Association. Examples of Covenants might be to maintain a property in a reasonable state of repair, certain types of fences, or not to build on certain parts of the property. Many covenants are very simple and are meant only to protect the associations neighborhood from things that might directly harm property values. Some Convenants can be more specific.

Question: What is a Lien?
Answer: A monetary claim levied against a property for unpaid mortgage, taxes, contractor work, or other charges, such as unpaid Annual Dues for an HOA. A lien is attached to the property, not the owner, and legally must be recorded in the property records of the county of residence. If a Lien is in place, the property owner has very limited ability to do anything involving the property until the Lien is satisfied or removed. In the case of an unpaid HOA dues, the property can also be foreclosed upon to satidfy the lien.
