Contracts

What is a 'deed restriction' and how does it bind future Nevada property owners?

AA government-imposed restriction that expires when the original owner sells
BA private limitation on the use of property recorded in the deed or as part of the property's chain of title — it runs with the land and binds all future owners regardless of whether they had personal knowledge of it✓ Correct
CA restriction that only the original grantor can enforce
DA Nevada HOA rule that applies only to the current homeowner

Explanation

Deed restrictions are private covenants limiting how property may be used — sometimes included in deeds, sometimes in separately recorded documents. They run with the land, binding all future owners (successors in interest). In Nevada, deed restrictions are common in older neighborhoods (limiting architectural styles, uses, or even historically discriminatory clauses — which are now unenforceable). Buyers must review title reports for deed restrictions as they can significantly affect property use and value.
