The Lakes Subdivision is a restrictive covenants subdivision which is intended to maintain property values within the subdivision.  For this reason, all property owners should be aware of these restrictions when considering changes to their property.  In addition, all real estate agents should acquaint prospective buyers of these restrictions which become a part of the act of sale for all property transactions in the Lakes.

To make it easy for all property owners to have access to the deed restrictions and covenants, a copy is available on RESOURCES page.  A copy of the Lakes Homeowners’ Association Bylaws is also included for your review.

DEED RESTRICTIONS & COVENANTS

The St. Tammany Code of Ordinances contains all the ordinances that affect residents of unincorporated St. Tammany which includes the Lakes Subdivision.

    and value of all properties within the Lakes
     
  2. To be consistent in approach when applying the covenants and when granting variances requested by homeowners.

All changes to properties within the Lakes must be approved by the ARC and the Board prior to construction.
