About the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs)
Covenants, also called “governing documents,” are non-governmental, legally-binding restrictions that apply to land and land owners. At Carnes Crossroads, there are two primary sets of covenants that correspond to each of the property owners associations: the Carnes Crossroads Community Association, Inc. (CCCA) and Carnes Crossroads Town Association (CCTA).
The Covenants are legal instruments that are recorded in the official land records office for Berkeley County. They describe in detail the rights and responsibilities of property owners and of each of the associations. All property owners should have been provided with a copy of the covenants by their attorney at closing. They are also available in hard copy or digital format through Property Owners Association office. To view the Covenants, please click here.
To download POA annual budgets, forms and other documents, please visit the Resources section of this site.
