What are deed restrictions?

  1. Government-imposed limitations on land use

  2. Private restrictions on property use

  3. Insurance policies on property titles

  4. Public agreements on property sales

The correct answer is: Private restrictions on property use

Deed restrictions are private limitations placed on the use of property by previous owners. Government-imposed limitations on land use (option A) are typically referred to as zoning laws or ordinances. Insurance policies on property titles (option C) are concerned with protecting the property owner's legal rights and do not involve restrictions on use. Public agreements on property sales (option D) are contracts between the buyer and seller and do not necessarily involve restrictions on use. Therefore, option B is the most accurate and inclusive answer.
