At closing on a new home you get a copy of your deed restrictions. Unfortunately, many file them away with the closing documents without reading what the restrictions are for their particular district. Sometimes “things” get muddy when you buy a resale. You may or may not get the deed restrictions and the former owner may have made changes to the property without ARC approval thus causing you a future costly problem. There are such cases that have made it to this site and even to the Daily Sun. Bottom line - - do your due diligence when purchasing property and check with ARC prior to making significant changes to your property.
