yes. there were deed restrictions on the property my mother and father bought 60
years ago. Cant sell to black people and no Jews.
there were no other restrictions on the land. I dont even think it was zoned back
then cause there were farmers all around the area.
The CITY became the BIG HOA. It is the politicians within the last few years began
writing the laws of a typical HOA into CITY LAW, including no fences etc. etc. etc.
So the ENTIRE CITY OF BROOKFIELD has become one big HOA.
Got it? they changed the laws after my parents bought the property.

I don't know why people keep saying that deed restrictions "creep up on
people" or that they "didn't buy into that in the first place." You have
been sold a bill of goods if you believe that. Deed restrictions are a
matter of public record. You can go to the courthouse and ask for a copy.
There is nothing mysterious or covert about deed restriction. Such
restrictions can exist and be enforced with or without a homeowner's
association. Also, you either bought into or didn't buy into a development
with a homeowner's association. They don't spring up in the middle of the
night. A person may find that their land has been rezoned. That is a
completely different matter. Times change. Zoning changes grandfather in
non-complying structures and uses. I suspect that the occasional squeaky
wheel who becomes unhappy because they are prevented from doing what they
want misrepresents the facts. I have seen this happen at meetings. People
claim they never agreed to the covenants and restrictions. In reality they
signed a "Planned Unit Development Rider" at closing.
