The guy I bought it from put the restrictions on the property and when I signed the contract to buy his rules were in there. Now he says what I am doing does not bother him. I have had no resistance yet but I didnt want to get occupational licenses, build the addition, get equipment and have someone fight me after. Which would be a civil issue right? I was just trying to figure out if what people were telling me about the one year thing was true?

I doubt it if it's not specified in the contract.

You really need to read the contract / covenant. I imagine that other homeowners have a right to enforce the covenant against you?

I am not aware of any general rule of property law that would make a covenant go away if it is not enforced for a year.
