How to Find Governing Documents

Lakewood at Large:

The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (DCC&Rs) were written in 1973. These documents apply to every homeowner. These documents, along with many others, can be found by going to our Governing Documents page.

They include:

- DCCR’s
- Articles of Incorporation
- By-Laws
- Rules & Regulations
- Use Restrictions
- ARB-ARC Guidelines
- Policies

For Parcels:

There are 21 Parcels in Lakewood. Each Parcel has its own set of Governing Documents. Homeowners must abide by policies of both their parcel and Lakewood at Large. Not every home is inside a Parcel.

It is your duty to identify whether your home is inside a Parcel, and understand whether they have additional Governing Documents. If you’re unsure of what parcel your home is in, please contact Cari at Cari@lpoa.com.
