Deed restrictions are other restrictive covenants that have nothing to do with zoning or government regulations; these are regulations that are specified in the deed of the home, and affect the use of your property.
An easement is one type of restriction that allows for someone else to legally use your land for a specific purpose. These often pertain to maintaining roads, sewage lines, electrical lines or other private utilities; however, if the government wants to run a gas-transmission pipeline through your yard, then they reserve the right to.
Another type of deed restriction is a restrictive covenant, which usually applies to a group of homes or lots within developments. These types of restrictions are enforced in order to maintain the highest home value possible, by restricting certain projects and keeping the homes looking uniform.
