Private Restricts on ownership refer to the rules home owners must follow in certain developments. Common developments that have private restrictions are subdivisions, town homes, or townships. If you live in a town home the private restrictions for that development will dictate how you can use the common area or backyard. I used to live in The Woodlands, a town full of subdivisions, where we had to keep our house looking a certain way and would have to have the landscaping kept up with. We also had to pay monthly fees to the township. These are both examples of private restrictions. They can limit what you can build in your front yard and can even limit how you can design your house on a plot of land.
This article shows the private restrictions for where I used to live, The Woodlands, TX. This document lays out all of the rules home owners must abide by when living in the Woodlands. It has important restrictions on detached add ons such as a garage. It even has restrictions on how to remove a tree. The purpose of all of these private restrictions is to make the community live up to a certain standard so it is a more desirable place to live.
Another example is the Private restrictions in Napa. Like the Woodlands, Napa has their own list of restrictions that their citizens must abide to. These restrictions seem like they are a hassle and limit what you can do on the land YOU bought, but they do make the community nicer which drives up the price of your home when you need to sell.
