Restating CC&Rs and Bylaws

Restating an older set of CC&Rs is much more cost-effective and less confusing than adding a large number of amendments. A restatement is the complete replacement of your CC&Rs with an up-to-date document. If your documents were written prior to 1985, when the Davis-Stirling Act was adopted, they probably need restating. Following are some of the major changes you should expect in restated documents.
