We are a small group of homeowners, not a HOA, in an upscale riverfront area in Oregon whose republication and extension of the CCR's expired before we realized it. That CCR extension stated that " the owners are empowered to republish and extend the covenants by declaration of the owners of the majority of said lots". Another rule was "that no temporary structure or building shall be occupied as a residence or otherwise, including but not limited to tents or trailer houses". One guy who purchased his lot while the CCR's were still effective, lives in the summer in a camper that he brought in after the CCR's had expired. Another buyer is bringing in a 5th wheel and camping out with his family and pals. He bought after the CCR's expired and may eventually leave the 5th wheel permanently. The homeowners now want to reinstate the CCR's to get rid of the trailer style living. Who will then be bound to the new CCR's? Only those who sign on? All previous owners under the original CCR's? What about the second guy who bought when they were expired? What if neither of these guys sign on to the new CCR's? Are they bound to follow the rules? Do the signatures have to be notorized when signing CCR's? Any thoughts or advice would be welcome.
