Hidden Controls: Private Covenants and Zoning
September 2025
This issue of Zoning Practice provides some general information on private land use restrictions, particularly deed restrictions. While it cannot encompass the nuances found across state and local jurisdictions, it discusses typical limits or requirements and explores how these privately established and enforced rules may intersect with broader planning objectives.
Zoning Practice analyzes trends and spotlights innovation in local land use and development regulation. It is a valuable digital resource for:
- Planners and land use attorneys responsible for drafting or administering zoning and other land use and development regulations
- Emerging professionals interested in learning more about plan implementation
