He certainly could, however, the developer is not violating a statute unless he tries to enforce the restriction. If he leaves the deed restrictions as is, then if the law changes, the restriction is already there. No way to change it back, otherwise.

From what I have read, deed restrictions are cast in stone. They can only be changed by the original deed holder prior to the first transfer of title. As far as the deed restrictions that are superseded by state or federal statutes, then it is what it is...the deed restrictions cannot be enforced. No need to change them, even if you could.

Indy, apparently there is a Florida friendly "water conservation" law that property can be rocked ... does that supersede the deed restriction about grass?
