COVENANTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATIONS

Many planned communities are subject to regulations that require homeowners to pay dues to maintain the neighborhood, as well as regulate the types of houses can be built and activities that are premitted. These are called restrictive covenants. Failure to abide by the covenants can result in liens being placed on your property and in some cases foreclosure. The Sanford Law Group has decades of experience assisting both property owner associations as well as individual homeowners with questions and issues regarding restrictive covenants.

We handle a wide range of covenant and neighborhood association matters. Our services include:
• Drafting and amending restrictive covenants– representing the association and its board of directors
• Advising POAs and HOAs on courses of action dealing with homeowners
• Collecting dues from delinquent homeowners
