That document will tell you about the need to get ARC (architectural review committee) approval to make changes to your property.

The real estate agent has nothing to do with any of this or any responsibility to tell you about it.
Well, no one gave me anything. I do have a copy of the warranty deed, but I never 'signed' for it. I asked escrow for it, but they said I'd have to get it from public records which is what I did.

Also, I finally also got a copy of the Declaration of CC&Rs, which I had to download from the CDD site. Everyone's saying I should have received a copy on closing, but I'm still asking, "from whom?" Whoever that 'whom' is, I'd like to contact to ask why I was never provided a copy of what everyone is saying I should have been provided with.
