Iowa CC&R & Architectural Enforcement (Declaration + Common Law)

There is no Iowa Code Chapter 335A; county zoning is Chapter 335, and it does not displace private covenants—an HOA's architectural and use restrictions stand or fall on the recorded declaration and Iowa common law of real covenants and equitable servitudes. Iowa courts enforce reasonable, properly recorded restrictions and architectural-review clauses according to their terms, typically by injunction or declaratory action; an unreasonable or ambiguous restriction is construed against the drafter and in favor of free use of land. Iowa Code § 614.24 requires re-recording a 'claim' to keep certain land-use restrictions enforceable past 21 years, though § 499B.21 exempts condominium declarations. No statute imposes notice, hearing, or design-review procedures—those come from the CC&Rs.

Declaration-based remedies: cure demands, injunction or declaratory suit to enforce covenants, plus any fines/liens the documents authorize. County zoning (Ch. 335) does not abrogate recorded covenants.
