Property Ownership
In Colorado, a 'restrictive covenant' in a subdivision's recorded plat that limits homes to single-family use can be enforced by:
AA. Only the original developer
BB. Any lot owner within the subdivision who benefits from the covenant✓ Correct
CC. Only the local government
DD. Only the HOA, if one exists
Explanation
Restrictive covenants in a subdivision plat are typically intended to benefit all lot owners in the subdivision. Any lot owner who benefits from the covenant (i.e., any neighbor whose property value is protected by the restriction) generally has standing to enforce it — not just the original developer or the HOA.
