Restrictions, either public or private, placed on the use of private property.
A deed restriction is a clause in a deed that may be inserted by a seller to limit the use of land, often to maintain property values or adhere to specific community standards.
Land use controls or regulations refer to government ordinances, codes, and permit requirements designed to ensure that private use of land and natural resources aligns with established policy standards.
Subdivision regulations are government rules that set standards for the design of residential subdivisions within a jurisdiction, determining aspects such as access roads, open space, and public dedications.
