Yes, but that doesn't solve the problem.
The survey will show where the house is located and an updated survey may even show the sidewalk that was put in prior to 2000. The deed restrictions will tell me about changing the color of my house or cutting down a large tree. But neither the survey nor the restrictions document will tell me that there was no approval for the sidewalk, that there are still fines hanging over the house because of the tree removal, or that there *was* approval for the odd color paint.
What I need, what any prospective buyer needs in order to perform the "due diligence" that some are calling for, is a way to look up all ARC applications for my home. That way I can use the property survey, deed restrictions, and visible inspection of my home to determine that something is amiss.
I sent a message to Deed Compliance asking for a way to perform such a search. You need to work through them to get this information, the homeowners cannot perform the search themselves.
