COVENANTS
The covenants were created by the developers of University Park and University Hills to establish certain construction, design, lot use, ownership restrictions, and responsibilities. They were designed to protect the interest of all property owners. They are legally binding on all property owners, not just dues-paying members, because they are attached to the deed of the lots. Your covenants should have been included with your title insurance paper work, but you can access the covenants at the link below.
UPNA has accepted the responsibility of notifying property owners when complaints have been made regarding covenant compliance. We have the responsibility as homeowners to maintain the standards to which we have all agreed when we purchased our homes.
