Typically, they will provide the buyer with a warranty deed and a plat for the property. Both of those documents refer to the deed restriction document that is obtainable online.
Thanks for the clarification. I do remember reading the covenants BEFORE making a financial commitment to the purchase, as part of the seller’s disclosures. We did not meet with the title company rep until we were ready to make our down payment and had signed documents including acknowledgment of receipt of the covenants. I had, and have, no problem making people wait while I review any documents, line by line, that involve my signature. Sad to say but the only person I trust at all times is the one looking back at me in the mirror. I trust my wife as well, but even then…….
