Deed Restrictions

Also known as the “covenants”.  It is a legal document that was created by our developer, A.L. Bell that conveys the purpose and use of the properties in the Clear Springs Park subdivision.  The document is a contract that is legally binding to each property owner in the subdivision. Adherence is not voluntary.   It limits what can be build here and how the property may be used.  It goes with the land; so if a property owner sells, the next owner is also bound by the same restrictions. Every ten years, we go through a process of consent (the renewal) by the property owners in order for the restrictions to stay in effect.
Some of the elements of the Deed Restrictions are:

• All tracts are to be used for residential purposes only

• Designated minimum square footage of each home

• Setback of the home from the front and side property lines

• No property may be used for a dumping ground for rubbish

• Inoperative vehicles cannot remain onsite for more than 30 days

• No shooting of firearms or hunting

What would happen if we did not renew the Deeds and Covenants? 
Answer -  the restrictions within the document become null, opening the prospect of using the land in ways the majority of the residents find objectionable such as: converting a tract to a disposal dump; tearing down a residence and building a convenience store, a bar, or an apartment complex.
