A realtor once told me they are only good for 20 years.
A: I am unaware of any law that states property restrictions automatically expire after 20 years. The realtor may be correct about the specific provision s/he was discussing. In general they have no expiration period and continue to run with the land. If you have specific property law questions, I encourage you to reach out to a real estate lawyer to answer your questions. Good luck.
