MRTA Notices and Revitalization

The Marketable Records Title Act (“MRTA”) requires that each homeowners’ association file a notice in the public records every thirty (30) years to renew and/or extend their covenants and restrictions.

Martell & Ozim, P.A. can help associations file the MRTA Notice, prior to the thirty (30) year expiration—or if the documents are beyond thirty (30) years, assist with the documentation needed for revitalization.

Without counsel to properly review the Governing Documents, MRTA could effectively extinguish a homeowners’ association’s ability to enforce its restrictive covenants. Our Firm is ready to discuss next steps if you have an impending expiration deadline.

Case in point, if the covenants are beyond thirty (30) years, an owner would not be subject to the restrictions and could install a shed without architectural approval—even if the documents prohibit sheds and require architectural approval for lot modifications.
