CC&R Enforcement

Appleton's zoning ordinance does not erase private HOA covenants and easements, but it does not defer to them either: Sec. 23-33 makes the zoning code control whenever it sets a stricter standard than a subdivision's private restrictions. An HOA can still enforce a tighter private rule on its own, but city code enforcement follows the zoning text, not the CC&Rs.
