It is important to understand The Grange Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions as they describe the rights and obligations of each owner and those of the association itself.

Please be advised that all owners of real property are legally bound by the restrictive covenants registered on their title, regardless of whether their property was specifically referenced in the original restrictive covenant agreement. Under the Land Titles Act (Alberta) restrictive covenants and other registrations on title run with the land and apply equally to all new titles issued on subdivision. Restrictive covenants, by nature, impact the use of land for the benefit of others. Owners are advised to review the title to their property to determine any restrictive covenants affecting their property and what their obligations or rights are under the restrictive covenant agreement registered on their title.

How to find the Restrictive Covenant attached to your property?

  1. Find your address on the Restrictive Covenant Address and Stage Description document below. NOTE: Not all addresses are listed in the original restrictive covenant agreement. If you cannot find your address refer to your land title and the stage with restrictive covenant number will be listed under encumbrances.
  2. Look at the stage your address is categorized in. For example, Stage 3A, 3B, 5 etc.
  3. Look under the Stages with Restrictive Covenant Number. The number listed on this document will match the Restrictive Covenant on your Land Titles Certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Restrictive Covenant?

To provide enhancement of the community over the years to come, restrictive covenants in many communities in Edmonton have been registered against all single-family lots.  Restrictive covenants include restrictions on roofing materials that are permitted and required that all fence constructed by residents be constructed in accordance with the design identified in the restrictive covenants.  For more information check out the header,  “Restrictive Covenants” on this website.

How do I know which Restrictive Covenant applies to my property?

There are two ways you can figure out which Restrictive Covenant applies to your property:

  1. Looking for your Restrictive Covenant that applies to your property on your Land Titles Certificate.
    1. Under the section Encumbrances, Liens & Interests look for the number that will match the Stages of the Restrictive Covenant located on the Restrictive Covenant page under Properties on this website.
      • For example, if you open this  Land Title Document you will see an example of an actual Land Title Certificate.  The registration number on the Land Titles Document is circled in red. In this case, the Restrictive Covenant is 022 373 348-Stage RF5(Pheasant Pointe2004).  Try finding it on the Restrictive Covenant page.
  2. Utilize the stages of development:
    1. Open the Restrictive Covenant Address and Stage Description document on the Restrictive Covenant page under Properties on this website.
    2. Look for your address and stage of development.  For example, 1086 Grantham Drive is under Stage 22.
    3. Then look for the stages of the Restrictive Covenant, the number attached to the stage is what will be in your Land Titles Certificate.  For the above address, it would be 042051330-Stage 22.
