Many of the subdivisions in Bureau County are subject to covenants and deed restrictions which regulate the use of property beyond the limitations contained in the County’s Ordinances. These covenants and deed restrictions are private agreements between property owners and are not enforced by Bureau County. Therefore, before you add a shed or a fence to your property or initiate any other changes, you should also obtain a copy of your subdivision covenants, recorded property deed or other documents and check with your homeowner’s association (if one exists) to determine if any private restrictions apply.
