Some subdivisions are conditioned upon restrictions in deeds, as required by the Planning Board, and other restrictions may be imposed by the developer who owned the subdivided land where the community is built.
For example, a community may require each owner to have a right of first refusal to another member of the community before selling outside, or may limit the types of structures or uses that may be made of the properties in the community (e.g., no home-based businesses, no buildings within 50 feet of the street).
