subdivision agreement
When a developer wants to construct a new subdivision, they negotiate a Subdivision Agreement with the city. This agreement requires the developer to do things such as plant trees, or install curbs and sewers. In addition, the agreement may include a commitment by the developer to maintain parts of the subdivision, such as a noise fence or the watershed (grading). When you buy a property in a subdivision, those responsibilities are passed on to you! You may become responsible for costly repairs, so always review your Agreement of Purchase and Sale to see if any covenants (responsibilities) are included with the property.
