Common use of Retaining Walls Clause in Contracts

Retaining Walls. In some communities certain lots may require retaining walls. These may be constructed of wood, concrete, or concrete block as recommended by the developer's civil engineer, where applicable. The retaining walls may be located on or adjacent to the actual property line. Those walls that run along any street or public right of way are inside the Homeowner's property line and will be the Homeowner's responsibility to maintain. If the retaining wall is located between adjacent property owners, the maintenance and repair of the wall is the joint responsibility of the corresponding homeowners. The presence or absence of retaining walls does not affect the Total Sales Price of the Home.
