Restrictive Covenants

Connecticut Public Act 21-173 defines an unlawful restrictive covenant as "a covenant or other provision in an instrument affecting the title to real property that purports to restrict ownership or occupancy of such real property on the basis of race." This act declares a restrictive covenant void.

Pursuant to Public Act 21-173, the Office of Policy and Management is providing a restrictive covenant form and restrictive covenant affidavit. It is up to the existing property owner(s), if they choose, to record either of these documents on their land records.

Download either the restrictive covenant form or restrictive covenant affidavit. Please complete the documentation and bring it to the Town Clerk's office, 50 South Main Street, Room 313 for recording. There is no fee for the recording
