Protective Covenants
Land Rights, Law Suits
Talked At Meeting Here
Protective covenants in
a subdivision, and their
enforcement, was the
subject of discussion
Tuesday night at the
Houston County Com
mission meeting in Perry.
The board heard a
homeowner ask for en
forcement aid, but had to
reject the request.
Mr. and Mrs. John
Worley, who own a home in
Blue Meadow subdivision,
located near the in
tersection of Houston Lake
and Highway 127,
petitioned the county
commission for help in
enforcing a private
covenant in the sub
division.
They produced a copy of
the covenant, which
clearly states provisions of
what can and cannot be
built or placed on property
covered by the document.
All subdivision lan
downers, according to
Worley, signed the
covenant and it was
Recorded.
Then a landowner moved
a mobile home into the
subdivision and reportedly
placed it on a cement
foundation. The covenant
specifically denies
placement of mobile
homes. So the Worley's
came to the commission
for help.
But the commissioners
and county attorney
Walker Burke told the
citizens that the county
cannot have any dealings
protective covenants,
”since they are "private"
documents. Burke added
that, generally, such
documents are legally
binding, but must be
pursued by private parties
in court for remedies.
Burke further said, "If
the county got involved,
it'd have to establish one
set of rules for all in the
county. There may be 200
differing covenants here in
Houston County."
It was further
established that, in
general, protective
covenants apply only to
those property owners who
sign them. If a property
owner subsequently sells
to another person, the new

combining of both wings of
the service into one
central location, to be

that such a procedure
would save money.
