Deed Restrictions, also known as protective covenants, are legal instruments which "run with the land" and ensure the homeowner’s basic, protective rights regarding the integrity of the subdivision. Since deed restrictions represent legally binding commitments between all affected lot owners within the subdivision, City employees are not authorized to interpret deed restrictions.
